ECU/Weis' Royal Visit

Hear Ye, Hear Ye!!! By Royal Decree........
Recently my students had the opportunity to go back in time as they experienced an audience with HRM Queen Victoria. Captain George was on hand to ensure her safety as well as the Lovely Lucinda Dickens Hawksley, great-great-granddaughter of Charles Dickens. The visit was truly delightful and wonderful friendships were made. More pictures to come from the Queen's Parade at Dickens on the Strand ...... stay tuned.

Thing #21 Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! -A Podcast

Recently I spent a week with my niece and nephew and had to read Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!, The Pigeon Wants a Puppy, and The Pigeon Finds a Hotdog EVERY NIGHT. Since we live so far away from each other and they LOVE Mo Willems' stories, I thought I would create a podcast that they could access whenever they want to hear me reading The Pigeon to them. I hope you enjoy!

This podcast was created with a webcam, microphone, and Windows MovieMaker. There are several productivity tools to create a podcast/videocast: Photostory, Audacity, Windows MovieMaker, Animoto to name just a few.
