Prayer Connection - Solomon's prayer reminds me that God's greatness is the grace he shows us. Grace offers absolution without retribution for the very human things we all do everyday. Grace makes forgiveness and unconditional love possible. U2's song Grace reminds of all that Grace offers |

Skype - I am a total novice at Skyping. I Skyped with several cadre mates, we practiced instant messaging, sharing files and sharing screens. We discussed how to use Skype in the classroom including guest speakers, collaborating with classes in other parts of the country/world, virtual field trips and language practice with native speakers. We also discussed the web design projects during our Skype call. We concluded that Skype would be a great way to collaborate when messaging or text messaging does not suffice. The You Tube video shows students taking a virtual field trip and visiting with Martha Washington via Skype. |

Course Project - The EDTC 517 course capstone project is creating a website using Weebly, Wix or Wordpress. All website creation sites are easy to use and require little or no knowledge of coding. The Grid (https://thegrid.io/ ) is a new website creation site using artificial intelligence is being advertised and it will be released in early 2015. It claims that it will do all of the formatting work for the user and the user just has to supply the content. The Grid is an interesting concept and I am interested to try it when it is released.
