Yes, this past week I admit has been a bit of a learning curve while I've been "Home Alone" again. Nobody but dogs, cats, chickens, a kestrel, my computer and fantastic PLN for company. Last time I lost a chicken, this time, I'm running around like a headless chicken! Why? Well the following newspaper article has just appeared in the local news. It contains some rather disturbing details.
It is even being reported on the Abruzzo Channel 5 Live news as I am writing!
As you can see, Norris is getting rather rotund. The plus side is
that she has been dutifully laying an egg a day in my plant pot, would
you believe. She is providing the necessary main ingredients for fresh
omelettes, pancakes, fresh pasta and tonight, a very fine cake, so I
shouldn't really complain. With Easter coming up soon, I certainly
won't go short of easter eggs!
Lesson Ideas
Fodey.com is a great resource for using with students of any age. In this post, I have demonstrated 3 of the different features available on www.fodey.com. The Newspaper Generator, Create a Newscast picture and the Ninja Text. I certainly had a lot of fun playing around with them! I am sure students would enjoy exploring them, too. These features could be easily embedded in a class blog for projects and assignments.
What do you reckon? If you have used fodey.com in any projects with your students, I would love to hear from you.
