June 29th by Laura Jacobs
After a lunch of salad, sandwiches and chips,
We were given some valuable advice from the previous trip.
If the thought of dirty clothes gives you're a fright,
Have no fear, there is a laundry room on site.
But doing laundry is not as simple as one might think,
the steps you must take, might cause you to go to the pub for a drink.
A video was made to help those who want to go through the trouble,
but don’t worry, no judgments will be passed if during the trip your clothes never see a soap bubble.
From Megan we learned about Google Forms
It can be used to collect student info easier than the pencil/paper norm.
Creating the Forms is as easy as 1,2,3
with the added benefit of not killing trees.
Sara taught us about pixlr.com next
A cool site where your story is told through pictures and text.
There are 3 main editing options for you to enjoy
Pixlr-omatic (like instagram), Editor (advanced), Express (efficient), what a cool new toy!
With Express you can create your photo strip online
Photos from your computer or Google work just fine!
For our project choose “collage” for layout,
From 5 picture vertical arrangement your story will sprout!
The “plus” button allows you to add the picture you want,
With the paintbrush you can edit and even add font.
When your photo strip is complete, save your work
No account needed, one less password to drive you berserk
If an example is what you seek,
Go to Kevin’s weebly page for a peek.
You will see the story of an annoyed dog awoken from rest
and another where a gnome is how Kevin is dressed.
Next Sara shared an amusing newspaper clipping,
about a “Heatwave” in England, to them 75 gets your sweat dripping!
Some entertaining videos from the last trip were shown,
the readiness to be in England has grown!
Ruie answered some last minute trip questions.
Arriving with converted money is her suggestion.
Where is the best place to exchange money once we are there?
The Post Office, will give you a rate that is fair.
On a grand adventure we are about to embark,
especially since lately the best transportation around Raleigh is an ark.
The morning of July 18th, in England we will finally arrive,
Through the class sessions and day trips our knowledge of writing and technology will thrive!
