Welcome to my Blogsite
My name is Bonnie Hicks and I teach computer classes to 6th, 7th and 8th grade students at Whitewater Middle School in Fayette County. I am presently pursuing my specialist degree in Instructional Technology and hope to graduate in May of 2009. I created this blog as a requirement for Integrating Technology for Dr. Baylen at the University of West Georgia. My plans are to use this site as a means of communication with my students and fellow educators. Over time, I will highlight useful tech tips and links to resources for readers of my blog site. Hopefully,it will remain a work in progress as I continue to be introduced to some of the exciting tools offered in Web 2.0.

The Website Brainy Betty offers a variety of free downloads for teachers and students. You can download hundreds of FREE PowerPoint backgrounds, some with animation and graphics that are unbelievably vibrant and useful for creating entertaining and meaningful presentations. The impressive templates and video backgrounds can help both you and your students create presentations with 3D transition effects, and there are some great Excel, Word, and Publisher templates as well.

Thanks for all the resources! Anyone working in education or planning on it knows the value of free resources- and especially the neat ones that you gave. The powerpoint resource is a great one and I will definitely get some use out of it. I appreciate it!
I have used Brainy Betty a couple of times. Thanks for puting a link to it; now I have easy access to it!
I really like this resource. I can't wait to share it at school. We are always looking for different templates for PPT.
I loved the new resources you were able to give. It's great that their not only free but they also of exciting tools to spice up presentations. Adding music and colorful backgrounds will really keep kids interested in the classroom during a presentation. Thanks for the great website.
There are also other free source like www.free-footage.org or really cheap one like www.digitalfruits.net
