WEBQUEST

My webquest is complete.
The address is homepage.usask.ca/jcr269

I was tempted to go back and do everything in a template because the website turns out more aesthetically pleasing, however, I refrained.

I hope you learn a bit about interior design as you visit.

Life Change

Well I've just accepted a f/t permanent teaching position somewhere in the world. Can you solve the riddle and figure out where I will be?

I will be living closer to Edmonton than S'toon.
When I go grocery shopping It'll be a toss up between Cold and Meadow.
I may have to worry about forest fires and bears.
The nearest McD's and hospital is 35-40 minutes away.
A giant lumberjack named gus will be my guard.
The title of this place may remind you of your green thumb.
A famous NHL player is from here.

??????where??????????will??????????I???????????be????????????

My newest addiction.........TED

So I somehow stumbled across TED a week ago. I believe someone also brought it up in class a while back. TED is set up similar to youtube, however the videos are usually of people giving really interesting "talks" on a wide range of topics. I'm not exactly sure how you get to do a TED talk, but the people on here are very intelligent, innovative and quite revolutionary in there thinking. I just got a FT job for 2010-2011 lined up and was thinking that in english TED talks would be a good way to inspire some good journal/creative writing.

I will share with you some of my TED picks:

1) Jamie Oliver on Food----okay, so I love Jamie Oliver's cook books, but even more so I love his stance on unhealthy eating and processed foods. I've been watching his food revolution tv show and think it is amazing- if you haven't seen it you should. Watch this video!!!





2) This one is a 19 year old girl, talking about cancer and her theories surrounding the possibilities for cancer "cures."






Hope you enjoyed.
