Classroom Architect

One of my assignments for Intro to Tech for Educators was to design a classroom (to certain specifications). I'm posting it here
  • A: Because it's neat. 
  • B: In case the file upload goes wrong. 
  • C: Look! I made it a science classroom! Look's like the one I had when I was in 7th grade science! Bangarang!

    Dear Janna, many thanks for submitting your classroom architect assignment and for crossposting it to your blog. This looks wonderful! You have created a well-thought-out and systematic layout for your classroom. I hope that you enjoyed learning about the classroom architect tool, and that you were able to get a sense of how this tool can be used to help you plan different approaches to configuring your classroom based on the types of instructional and teaching strategies you might use in the classroom. For example, you might reconfigure the layout of the tasks and the media when you are doing more group oriented activities. Or, you might adjust the layout of the classroom based on particular types of student needs.

    Great job on the assignment, keep up the good work! Sincerely, Yusra Visser

      The program is actually really fun to play with (as long as you don't accidentally clear the floorplan by enlarging the room, oops!) I started playing with it to see if I could use it to rearrange my living room!

      Oh, if anyone else wants to play with it I suppose I could add the link!

      Happy planning!

Woops! I did not notice that my posts were getting stuck in "draft"! Here's what been published late: 20120805-11 Curiosity and News . News: KY Evolution, Medieval Germanic War . In Life: Img Src School has started again and I've got four classes, Organic Chemistry I, Genetics, Introduction for Teaching, and Introduction to Technology for Educators. For those of you of my generation let me emphasize that the latter is "intro to, technology for educators" and not "intro to technology, for educators". If you don't know the difference: instead of teaching me "Intro to Tech" (typing, how to use word, excel, etc, all that jazz) I'll be learning the programs that educators tend to use nowadays to organize students' grades, build digital classrooms, work through how the law pertaining to teaching interacts with the law pertaining to technology, etc. I'll be keeping two blogs for the class and uploading my final projec

Star Trek Diplomas: All of them. I think.

So... StarTrek.Com has released a Starfleet Academy Diploma.  I wanted to see if the design was supported by canon (because I'm a huge fact-check nerd) and in my quest collected what I think to be all the diploma designs officially used on the show. I'm still looking though, so if you find one I don't have here, please leave a comment! Confirmed authentic : Voyager epi "Non Sequitur". It appears to be the first time a diploma had been shown, if rabid Trekkers diligently duplicating it is any indication. If you register at the LCARSc site, you can download a free template to make your own! (ref: http://www.lcarsc.com/entry.php/34-Freebie-Friday-Starfleet-Diploma ) Confirmed authentic:  Enterprise : "Storm Front, Part II" Earlier in storyline, later in established canon. Found via http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Starfleet_Academy_majors Official StarTrek.Com diploma (Released 2012):  I can't find any epi screenshot t
