Learning Curve

What a learning curve!!! I am so excited and exhausted, energetic and lethargic, awake and sleepy all at the same time!

Creating a product to post for TpT is an incredible journey. 
If you have not have a chance to post your own lessons and activities in TpT, you need to give it a try!
I decided that after 20 years of teaching is about time I share with my Teaching Community some of the tricks I have picked up along the way. It is useful and it would save you some Prep Time----(my classroom is my first Beta Testing Group) more so for the Bilingual Teachers out there. 

The dialogue will sound like this:

Bilingual Blooms (me!) -------What? You heard me? Who is out there?!!!
Other Bilingual Teachers ----We need Spanish materials!
Bilingual Blooms ---------------Yes, I know! I hear you! I created my own materials from scratch 20 years ago!
Other Bilingual Teachers -----Post them! Hurry up!!
Bilingual Blooms ----------------I will, I will, I am trying! I  just do not know in what folder I save my files!!??? JPEG? --no wait, PDF? (scratch head) What originals? What? Who is talking now?
Yoda    --------------------------PDF's, JPEG's, and PP's the three you must save!
Bilingual Blooms  ------------What? What??!!! What about my computer memory? I am going to run out of  memory!!!!
Yoda   --------------------------That! you did!

So yes, please be patient! Crazy! Sometimes I have these crazy dialogues in my head, it helps me deal with a bad day and I ended up laughing. It really helps, specially when you start laughing all of the sudden in the copy room, and you startle your colleagues! Then you laughed more because you did not realized you surprise them with your crazy thoughts! Guilty! Very guilty!

I have just learned some new amazing technology skills and I will do my best to not only showcase my products in TpT and Teachers Notebook, but I will also share my knowledge about how to do it, in case you also decide to share your knowledge in this AMAZING Community of Teachers! 

Have you ever had these internal dialogues in your head?? Post them! We all need a laugh once in a while, especially when not everything goes as plan!
