Hard Reset Droid X — Technipages.

I was busy uninstalling each of my 100+ apps on my beloved Droid X (that has been aggravating me with freezing and shutting down and such for far too long, hence the need for reset) when Kevin, fresh home from work, said, “I’m sure you can find directions for doing that all once.”

So, yeah, DUH on me again today.

At least the old phone is free of my stuff now. And the new one is almost set up the way I want it.

And, by the way, I found my keys. They were, in fact, not in my car, but in the small zippered compartment of one of our suitcases. Sigh.

62/365: ELMO!

This is my ELMO.

Yeah, it’s not red and fuzzy. And no annoying whine.

And, okay, it’s not really mine. It’s my inclusion teacher’s, but she lets me keep it in my room. (She’s awesome like that!)

And really it’s not exactly hers, either. It’s one she’s been issued to use.

Regardless, I’ve been using it all the time this year, and I’ve barely even touched the surface of what it will do.

Here are just a few examples of how we’ve used it so far:

  • Talking through MLA formatting of source cards (above)
  • Magnifying student work during presentations. (See symbols cards, for example.)
  • Diagramming sentences, one student at the ELMO, and the rest of the class participating while watching the process
  • Showing on-the-fly models of what students are working on at the moment

I can’t wait to find new ways to use it!
