Making things personal

First of all, I have to tell you something funny about class on Wednesday.  UT has just turned on the AC for all the buildings on campus, and of course, they can't set it at a normal temperature that would make us feel a slight breeze and be comfortable.  WE ALL FELT LIKE WE WERE IN ANTARCTICA!!!!!!!!!!!   We didn't stay the whole class period, we would've all turned into icicles by that time.
Our assignment in class was to catch up on any missed work, and then make our PLP profile a little more personal and professional...all at the same time.  We had to write a small paragraph about ourselves and our future educational goals, post a professional picture, and links to our Blog (this baby right here), and our classroom website.  Funny story.  When making my classroom website, I wrote in my name "Beth-Ann Duncan" to create the homepage, and some other person in Russia was named "Beth-Ann Duncan" and already had a classroom website!!!  What are the odds?!?!?!  So now when I sign into Google, I see the website that I created, and hers, because I haven't deleted it from my Google Docs profile yet.  I might keep it there a while. ha!
This assignment was pretty basic and straightforward.  It was nice to have a break from a big long assignment with lots of requirements from the rubric.  But hopefully everything is falling into place as the semester closes.  I feel like I have such a firmer grasp on technological content due to this class.  I mean, I now use Delicious DAILY!!
