$1 Invention
Below is my $1 invention! You know the little plastic tube inside of your paper towel roll? Well, I discovered that it can also be used for another purpose...
Simply snip one end of the tube using a pair of scissors...make sure it is the end of the tube that is slightly larger:
Next, take the tube apart and fill the inside with frosting:
Go ahead and write on top of a cake or decorate a cookie with the newly invented icing tube!
Take a peek at the cakes I have decorated in the slideshow now appearing at the top right of my blog! (Okay, so I didn't decorate all of these cakes with this toilet-paper-holder-turned-decorating-device but perhaps if I am in a pinch in the future, it just might come in handy!)

Course Expectations
I don't want to be that teacher...the teacher that stands in front of her class and can't figure out how to work the overhead projector, how to connect the DVD player to the television or how to access the latest educational software in the student computer lab. After teaching third grade for a few years, I realized that I would have to work at keeping up on the latest computer technology so that I could at least keep ahead of my students. I am here in this course to increase my knowledge of current computer applications and programs. I also want to learn how to better incorporate appropriate technology into the teaching of students with disabilities.
It seems to me that the average school teacher this day in age is extremely undereducated when it comes to computer applications. That being said, computer applications in special education are even further unknown meaning that students are not receiving the best education they deserve due to lack of access to technology that might help them meet their goals. I hope this course exposes me to technology that can help my future students learn to the best of their ability.
