I love making perogies!
I finally learnt this summer, while I was a program director at a children’s summer camp, and we had each of the kids make perogies for supper one night. It isn’t actually that hard, surprisingly. And turned out to be fun for me as well!

I think most families have a food they make like that. I love getting togethor with all the women in my family and talking as we work on a project such as chocolates (my mom used to make hundreds every year). The work is hard but the company makes it go fast and for many it seems to be a right of passage from childhood to the equal of the generation before them.

Wow there’s so many! What kind are they? I love perogies! How many did you end up making? Do you like to eat kovbasa too? My old roommate was Ukrainian and brought sausage from home all the time!

Comment on Podcast Reviews!! by jocelynskogberg

Hey, you left a comment on my blog asking about doing a podcast. How I did mine was go to http://www.gabcast.com and created an account. Then it gives you numbers you can call. I used the 1888 number and it has directions on there to give your account number and then you just start recording. After I was done recording the podcast was saved in my account in gabcast, and there was a link there to embed it into my blog. I hope this helps. If you need some more info just post on my blog again.

i hate thinking back at highschool and wishing i could have stopped things! it bugs me so much that i could have just said one thing and it would have stopped! I never really was bullied in my older grades of highschool but i def know how it feels!

it is so important to just be yourself!

I watched this presentation too and totally agree with you about opening up your eyes to using different programs in school. I was always against using cell phones in the classroom, but after this presentation and our ECMP class it will defineitly be an option in my future classroom!

Hi Alanna,
Thanks for your kind words. I’m glad you got my point that games aren’t “bad” just that you have to evaluate them carefully so they match the learning goals.

Happy to collaborate with you anytime if you are looking at a specific game and want my opinion.
