Hey, Mrs. Isaacs, How'd You Create That Header?

I've had quite a few kiddo's ask how to make jpegs and manipulate the size so they'll fit across the top of their blog and act as a header. While I use Image composer, which is an archaic program, (if it aint broke, don't fix it :-) I don't know what everyone has at home. I'd love for all the kiddo's to learn Photoshop, but that takes money.

And so when I ran across this little jewel of a freebie I had to share! It's called pixlr.com. It has similar features to Photoshop, and I'd love for the kiddo's to play! Now, you do have to sign up, which basically involves giving them your email and creating a password, but once that's taken care of you can create, layer, and put words on any picture you'd like. Too, some of the tools (such as the lasso, the wand, etc) are the same as Photoshop, so learn this first and when we get to that stage it'll be a breeze!

Now I'm learning this one with you, so I'm no expert. But if you have a questions feel free to post one and I'll see if I can't find the answer. As always, go play, have fun, be fearless, and learn something new!

Mrs. Isaacs.

Got Questions?

We've had so many kiddo's create blogs that I thought it might be a good idea if you had a spot to ask questions if you get stuck. Comment a question and I'll try to get back to you within 24 hours. Remember, short of going into the template HTML code, any mistakes you make I can probably fix, so be fearless, explore, create, and most of all have fun!

How To Create Your Own Blog!

Hello my Neipchens!
Mrs. Isaacs here, and I wanted to explain how to make your own blog. We can work on the blogs at school, but, unfortunately, the firewall won't let me create blogs, and so below you'll find step-by-step instructions on making your blog.

If you are still confused and need help, bring me your email address and password. I'll take it home, and create a default blog and then we can work on the design of it at school. If you create a blog at home, please make sure that you know your URL, email address, and password so you can get on it at school to change things around. I'm working on a scroll widget with all of your blogs, so we must have a grab button for everyone and all the blogs set up before summer starts! :-)

How to create your own blog:
Make a gmail email address.
Click on the "Create a Blog" button on the top right corner of this blog. There you will be taken to
a page that looks like this:

That will take you to a page that looks like this:
  
The final step creates the blog. Remember, we need your URL, your email address and password in order to work on it here at school!

Comment if you have a question, and I'll comment back when I check!

Have fun, and remember, your voice matters!

Exercise and American Obesity


In my opinion, obesity in America is at too high of a level. I see many Americans having trouble losing weight on TV, in my family, and some of my grown friends. In the past twenty years, obesity has doubled in adults and tripled for children. Most Americans don't exercise, and when they try and start they normally choose wrong exercises, like running, swimming, or jump roping. I see most sedentary people trying to run when their body needs to start out with something easier like speed walking, or simple light weights. When people choose to do too much too quickly they get discouraged and quit, which keeps them out of shape and unhealthy.

Play Like You're in the NBA!

NBA 2K12 is awesome. There are so many game modes such as: season, playoffs, NBA's greatest, and, the best, my player. When you play the my player mode, you get to make your own player. You get to make up the name, height, play style, and pick what shot you want. First, you play 3 games in the NBA combine. Then, if you play good enough, you get drafted. Once you've completed that level you play 4 games in the summer circuit. If you get good enough, you play in the NBA. 
I  give this game 5 jellybeans.

The South Rules!!!

The SEC is the best football conference in the world. The reason I think the SEC is the best in the world is because they have won six BCS games in a row. The teams in the SEC are Kentucky, Alabama, Florida, LSU, Auburn, Tennessee, Old Miss, Mississippi State, Vanderbilt, Arkansas. If I was you, I would watch the SEC every time they play.

Wrestlemania XXVIII


It was an epic battle. it was the end of an era. It was a battle of tow men who made the WWE. It was amazing with H.B.K. (the heartbreak kid). He's the referee you need to see!


Buy the DVD! You will love it and see Jon Cena Vs. the Rock once in a lifetime match!
