Still love the reality television shows. Right now I enjoy watching “Rock of Love” and “The Hills”. I rely on DVR to record the shows and watch during the baby’s late night feedings.

PAST COLLABORATION Artistic Connections A means of incorporating Art into the various disciplines. The website allows for the various disciplines to display the work produced by the students based on the featured artwork. The collaboration also enables teachers to further use the concept of cross discipline within education. http://eev3.liu.edu/hh0608/connections/

BIGGEST SUCCESS IN TEAM SO FAR Creating the Celebrity Wedding Webquest. I had to devote a lot of time in working with DreamWeaver as well as working on a concept that would appeal to students in a real world situation. The end result was a big hit with not only my students, but with colleagues as well. http://eev3.liu.edu/hh0608/bm/weddingwebquest/
