Continents and Oceans

I used picnik on all of the pictures in the video.  I tried to make some of them a bit more sharp, but really had no luck.  This was hard to get the video the way I really wanted it to turn out.  I'm hoping that I can work with it a bit more and get it the way I really want it.

Butterfly Life Cycle

Butterfly Life Cycle

I decided to do a video on the life cycle of a butterfly.  The students I work with really seem to enjoy learning about the many different life cycles of the animals.  I used picnik to all of the pictures.  The main thing that I did was change the size and crop the pictures.  I also sharpened the caterpillar pictures.

About Myself

My name is Angela Maybee.  I have a wonderful husband Brad and four fantastic children Tanner 15, Blake 13, Alexa 12, and Bryce 10.  With our family we are busy between sports, family activities, and school.  I teach 3rd Grade Special Education at Hayward Elementary in Nebraska City.  This is my second year teaching after graduating from Peru State College with a Bachelors in Special Education and Elementary Education.

I have begun using technology in my classroom since being in the school district.  I use the mimio pad daily, ipod when applicable, and I use the overhead mimio projector daily.  I have used a smart board but don't have access to one at the district I am in now.  At school I use a Mac, but at home I use a PC.  I currently use Microsoft Office 2007.  However, with my husband having multiple businesses we are always upgrading.

I've always wanted to continue my education.  I feel that by pursuing my masters at Peru State College I will be more apt to become a master teacher.  I hope to gain knowledge that will help me to be a great role model and leader for my students.  I plan to continue my education even after my masters.  I would like to take more classes on behaviors.
