My Own webpage!, wow!

I have been asked to do a website (not just webpage) in one of my courses, so
i have been working on it, and after a lot of work, changes, and frustration with the edit buttons and options (is not so easy as google says), i did it, and i don't think is half bad.

Maybe it doesn't have a lot of fancy features because of the short time and pressure to do it, but i think it worked out pretty well.

The theme of the site is about education, I used a classroom website template, and some imagination to see how I would do the page if i were working with students in a school, so I tried to keep the language simple and easy to understand, also I tried to implement some gadgets to keep things interesting, like calendars, videos and stuff like that, so i hope you like it.

My first screencast!

Hey guys, today im showing you, a video that i myself did, with the help of camstasia studio program.

I was asked to do a screencast, for a lesson or educational purpose, so i did this little video as a way to show students how to create a blog account that would later be used in other lessons in that course.

I tried to do it simple and easy, and i think that for the most part i succeded with that, also, i remind you that this is my first video, so go easy on me.

and sorry for the bad english!

Lesson and maps

Ok guys, i have been asked to use a map in a class lesson, so it can
help the understanding (and the interest) of the students in a class.

So i though about using maps in a class about hurricanes and weather changes.

The idea is that, first we give the students the information about how the hurricanes work, and then the use of the map would be to simulate the trajectory
of a hurricane from it's starting point to it's possibles routes.

This is not really a good example, but is just to give you an idea of how this may work.

Also another possibility is using this one as an example and make the students do their own maps based on real trajectories from past cyclons or hurricanes.

well anyway, here is the example i did:
