I Made a Movie!

Soo I am taking this class (Technology in Education… or something) and we got this assignment to make a movie about what our future classrooms are going to look like, and how we plan to integrate technology in our classrooms.  I took this small assignment and decided to turn it into [...]

Last Saturday I attended my first Renegade Craft Fair and loved it!  There were so many interesting and unique things to see and I was really inspired – one day, I’ll get my act together and apply to be in an art/craft fair.
One thing I was really excited about was meeting one of my favorite [...]
