Sometimes, our PE classes get a little out of hand. Today, we were doing our regular swimming lesson when suddenly it crossed over into the realm of crossfit. My son rode his bike into the pool, then dove in and retrieved it about 10 times! He said he was in beast mode! lol Sounds exactly like something my crossfit group would make me do for time.
But, during these antics, I decided it was a great time to take a funny video for my YouTube channel and Social Media. Gifs are so much fun to create and really easy to share. No video player or sound needed, and the message comes across loud and clear.
For this gif, I recorded a video of my son’s bike antics in slow motion. Then I imported it into a program called GIFMaker. Its a free app on the Google PlayStore. The app allows you to add text, apply a filter, crop the video, adjust contrast, etc. You can also use picture series to create a GIF. I left the watermark advertising the app on the gif, but you can certainly remove that option in the settings.
Here’s our result…just another homeschooling day on the Space Coast, Florida. I challenge you to make your own funny gifs!

According to Classes and Careers.com, 33% of college students drop out before finishing their degree. Students have many reasons to quit, including financial difficulties, lack of scholarships, or unsure of what program they want to study. After years of working, many people find they are ready for a career change, but the lack of a college degree is keeping them from advancing or switching careers.

How much money would it take for you to not use the Internet anymore? If someone came up to you and said, “I’ll give you a million dollars, but you can never get online again,” would you take the offer? 
Men love things that explode, launch into the air, or make loud noises. Something in their DNA makes them giddy at the site of destruction. Rockets are fun for boys of all ages. Not only will the men have fun putting them together and shooting them off, but it will give them an opportunity to complete a project with the kids.

What "cloud" really means is using Internet services for file sharing, email, document sharing, etc. Rather than storing files on your local network, the files get stored back up on the remote server. The remote server is maintained by the cloud services company. Email has been used this way for years: you purchase email hosting on a monthly basis and never think about the server housing its contents. All of that server side storage is done remotely through an Internet connection. Cloud services are generally cheaper and the costs to implement and maintain are much lower than housing your own internal server.

It’s available on all platforms and its completely awesome. The game includes a few Spyro action figures, a portal of power, and the game software. By placing your figure on the portal the character is uploaded into the game. Each character is unique with its own powers and skills. All the information is stored on the figure itself and the figures are compatible across all platforms, a sweet mixture toys and video games. This is the must have game for kids in that age group. Its not the only one though. Mario 3d Land and Mario Kart will both be available on 3DS. The other big kids release is Disney Universe a fun exploration of Disney worlds and adventures with characters that progress. What I love about these games is they’re all playable by 2-4 players. 2 player limit on Spyro, but up to 4 on the others.
