Here is my PowerPoint presentation on the Evolution of the Atom. It took a long time to figure out how to embed the presentation into my blog but finally here it is.

PowerPoint Show

I prepared a PowerPoint for Content Standard SC.O.C.2.2 which states:
Research and evaluate the contributions of Dalton, Bohr, Heisenberg, and Schrödinger to the evolution of the atomic theory.

And here is my embedded image. This is my profile photo for the FSU website. I uploaded it into Photoshop Express and played around with the size and made it a black and white photo.

Crappy Graphics

I used Crappy Graphics to design the graph. It shows how math, physics and stoiciometry combine to form chemistry.

The original graph may be found at http://crappygraphs.com/user_graphs/?id=2772.

Kids Zone

Since the year 2000 WV has lost ground compared to national scores in mathematics.

Compared to Utah, Arkansas and Mississippi, WV has fewer students with an IEP.

I used the graphing tool in KidZone. The data was easy to put in and so was making the chart. I knew how to do charts and graphs in Excel and for simple graphs it is comperable.

The data came from the National Assessment for Educational Progress. I was surprised that Utah was one of the poorer states. I was also surprised that WV had such a small number of IEP's.

Image Capture

My graphic can be viewed at the following site:

I use this screen shot image in my Chem 1113 class at Fairmont State University. I used Paint to circle one of the numbers and air brushed add notes in order to see possible tools available in Paint to improve my image, for this assignment. I acquired this image by hitting the "print screen" key on my keyboard while the desired screen was selected, and then the image was pasted into Image J, a image manipulation program that is freeware. Once the file in pasted into Image J the graphic can be edited and saved in numerous formats. I chose to save this image as a .gif file; I then inserted this image into a HTML document, using Dreamweaver, and that document is used in Blackboard for my class. I have numerous screen shots of what their screen should look like as the students work an example problem in Excel. This helps the students proofread their spreadsheet as they work the example, and some really have a hard time following instructions without some sort of accompanying graphic.
