Fodey's Newspaper Clip Generator
By Alma Row

Getting students to write can be a struggle at times, but Fodey?s Newspaper Clip Generator is a great solution for enticing reluctant writers. After completing the online template for a newspaper name, date, article heading and the text of the article, students click the Generate button and the site renders what looks like an authentic newspaper clipping. To save the jpg, click the link below the picture (not on the picture itself). They clip looks so real that it even fooled a few colleagues of mine!

getting ready to wite my own educational blog

I neeed to think about my audience

Change

"to inspire in others a desire to change for the better is truly noble; but this you can do only by leaving them alone, and then becoming more noble yourself."

Thank you

Two words that make you feel good when someone says them to you and make you and someone else fell good when you say it to them.
Rememberto say it many time a day.

Happiness

If you are not happy... nobody is going to make you happy.

"Happiness depends upon ourselves"
Aristotle 384-322BC

Moving toward magnificance

I would like to think that even when the chips are down I am moving toward magnificance

Welcome to my thoughts

I like to think positive thoughts. Right now I am reading The Secret Daily Teachings by Rhonda Byrne. I am on day 5. "Look for the gifts in anything".
Everything that happens to us good or bad is a learning experience. What we get from a bad experience can only make us learn from it.
Sometimes it is hard to see what we are to learn from a bad situation.

On the second day, I wrote 100 things that I am grateful for. It took awhile but I enjoyed doing it. I went all the way back to my childhood on that one.
