Blogger mini-revamp

So as part of the in-class assignment tonight, we had to practice with adding, changing and rearranging page elements in our blog site. As far as general template changes, I'm sure you can see that I've changed the background color (black to blue), which unfortunately also rearranged my heading alignment...not quite sure why that happened, but I'll have to mess with the HTML to fix it back.

In the arena of page elements, I've added a poll (TAKE IT!!) and I've moved it up above my personal profile information. I've also changed by "Photo of the Week", which, true to its name, changes weekly. I also wanted to post a photo (which is also hyperlinked to a very interesting website, one of my personal favorites):

I also wanted to include a link to a video that I personally love, and believe me, there's no end to this cultural phenomenon:


As you can see from my previous posts, I have linked to Power Points that I've created for my classes. Also, my last post included links to Teachers' Guides that I published through Google Docs, just so you can see how they look as a published document (which I happen to like). If you're interested in seeing those, you can refer to my last post.

Just one more thing I thought would be interesting is a link to a Practice Test that I've made for my students, which includes listening comprehension sections and which grades them automatically. I created this (and other practice tests) using the amazing Hot Potatoes software. You can see the Practice Test here....enjoy!!
