Podcast Proposal
Purpose of My Podcast
The purpose of my Podcast is to provide an informational review and preview of our classroom explorations.
Podcast Description
My Podcast will be created for my students, parents, and community members. At the beginning of each week, I will post a Podcast describing the upcoming events and topics covered in class that week. The majority of Podcasts I will host myself, however, on occasion, my students may participate. The length of the Podcasts will range from 4-10 minutes depending on the amount of information I need to share. My Podcast content will include basic "newsletter" information about our classroom as well as tips for improving academic skills at home.
I plan to incorporate classroom pictures, videos, and artifacts as well. The Podcast I post each week will provide information about the week's objectives and assignments. It will also provide helpful links that correlate with the topics of discussion. I may also include online worksheets or assignment links to be completed that week. My Podcast will become a highly important asset to my students' learning experience.
State/Local Objectives
The objectives will vary weekly.

Animoto--Butterfly Video
Reflection
I really enjoyed creating this project using Animoto. I especially liked that the site provides ability to create videos free to educators and their students! As an educator, I can see a multitude of uses for this product and am confident students would enjoy watching and creating their own videos. One way teachers may use this application would be to introduce a new topic of discussion. This tool would create a sense of wonder and excitement for the students. I believe it would also promote a higher level of interest from ALL students.
Students could also use this tool. As an educator, the site gives you--and your students--access to create an unlimited amount of videos within a six-month period. Students could use this site to create a video over their research topic. They could present the video before, during, or after presenting pertinent information about their given topic. Another way they may utilize this website, especially at the beginning of the year, would be to create a video about themselves. Using pictures of and about themselves, they could create a video that describes their interests using pictures and music.
As you watch my video, you will notice I have edited several pictures using Picnik.com. ALL of the pictures I edited, I also added text to. The picture edit tools I used included text, crop, frame, color splash, and soft focus. I LOVE PICNIK! It gives you the opportunity to make an ordinary picture--EXTRAORDINARY. And the best part is, IT'S FREE!
I look forward to the opportunity to use this video--and more--in the future.
ENJOY!

iMovie--Article Review
Reflection
iMovie is one of my all-time favorite applications to use! It provides the user with many different options in order to customize and make adjustments to your project to match your exact standards. I also enjoy the ability of using Garage Band to blend music and commentary to create a well-rounded presentation for my directed audience. These applications allow you--and/or your students--to show creativity and skill other assignments may not render. Please enjoy my presentation--and feel free to leave feedback! =0)

delicious.com
What a neat website! I love the idea of being able to bookmark something through this website and be able to access if from anywhere. This has always been a pet-peeve of mine. I often bookmark or add websites I've stumbled upon to my "favorites" but unless I remember the web site's URL, I have to search the web for it all over again while using a different computer. To save frustrations, I have often emailed myself the link to the desired website but sometimes I forget or fail to do this and I am stuck with the same problem. Delicious.com allows me the ability to take my bookmarks with me wherever I go. This is a resource I will use again and again!
Please click here to view my "delicious" bookmarks. MORE TO COME...Enjoy!

Meet Mrs. Moberg
My name is Lindsey Waldrep-Moberg. I am originally from Fairbury, Nebraska which is where I graduated from high school in 2003. I graduated with honors from SCC-Beatrice in 2005, then transferred and graduated Summa Cum Laude from Peru State College in 2007. I currently live in Hutchinson, Kansas with my husband, Kevin and daughter, Haven. Haven is our pride and joy. She loves to play, snuggle, and take long walks on the leash--that's right folks! She is our adorable black, miniature schnauzer. I currently co-teach kindergarten every morning and team-teach grades 1-3 in the afternoons in a small, rural district. My job is extremely fulfilling. I love the opportunity I have been given to teach multiple grade levels.
I am definitely a tech-guru. I don't understand how the world functioned without it! As an educator, I use technology everyday! Whether I am recording grades, planning lessons, or updating my school website, I rely on my computer. I am proficient with Mac and PC computers. My school supplies Mac computers for all faculty, while I have a PC desktop and laptop at home. There are aspects of both I really enjoy. I like having all of the different applications at my fingertips. Throughout my day, I use many different types of technology for my lessons. Examples include overhead projectors, computer lab, and the Promethean Board. I use Microsoft Office 2007.
Being a master teacher is extremely important to me. I have always been a well-planned, perfectionist. When I set my mind to do something--I do it. And I do not just do it--I do it to the best of my ability. I don't believe in doing something half-way. I believe not being a life-longer learner is only doing my job half-way. It is important for me to show my students education is important and that I want to provide them with the best lessons possible. For the time being, I will simply use my Master's to develop a further knowledge of best practices. Eventually, I would like to become an administrator and/or teach courses at college level.
