Prayer Connection
In 1 Kings 8, Solomon talks about the Lord keeping his promises, not one word failing. He also talks about God taking care care of us according to the needs of each day. Even though we fail each day, and He knows we will continue to do so, God never fails us.
In this video, Bryan Duncan sings of Abraham and Sarah's seemingly unfulfilled promise from God of a child. God didn't fail them. It reminds me that God won't fail me. He promises to be by my side, even when it feels otherwise.
Skype Continued
Skype is a communication tool which allows video calling,
instant messaging, screen sharing and file sharing. I joined
in a few Skype sessions where I learned that it is easy to connect, share something I am doing on my screen and share my interesting files with others. I connected with a cadremate of mine, Michelle, and we discussed uses of Skype for educational purposes. I recorded it using the "Call Recorder Program". It can be viewed by clicking the button above.

Browsing
There are 4 browsers used to access the internet
used commonly on today’s computers. Since I use a mac, I
researched these three: Safari, Firefox, and Chrome. They have
several features in common such as tabbing, bookmarking and privacy protection. But I choose to use Firefox. There are many add-ons that can be downloaded to enhance this Firefox experience. I have download “Pocket” which allows me to store websites to be used later in my classroom at times when I might not be able to access the internet. However, there are many more to be explored.

AHA Moment
I learned so much about add-ons. I never
knew that they could be so helpful. In the past, I just used whatever I could see on my menu and toolbars. Now I know that if I want to change or add something, I can do it easily using an add-on. As I said above, my favorite one so far is "Pocket", but I am excited about finding more when the
need arises.
