Morning Chaos - What to Wear

These days I have to multi-task to the max.  With my husband away at the military, work, and the kids I don't have much time to think about what I am going to wear.  I have borrowed the idea from Lloyd Boston from the show Closet Cases: the" Look Book." Basically, you lay out your outfits with shoes and accessories (if any) and photograph the look.  This helps me in the morning with the big question, " What am I going to wear to work?"  I like having this handy because sometimes I just can't seem to find anything to wear.  I am sure most of you have experienced this at one time or another.  I have only photographed the outfits that I have never thought of putting together because of design and/or colors.  Anyway, it helps provide me with a quick idea which limits my morning chaos until the kids wake up! LOL:)

Geotagging & Alma Maters

Here is my Bright Idea on incorporating geotagging and your (and others alma maters):

My last idea was on sharing teacher and parent alma maters.  This is a great way to incorporate Geotagging.  Currently in our school we celebrate for a week "College week."  We talk about our alma maters with the students and have them share their parents/guardians alma mater.  Specifically, we focus in on this during "March Madness."  (College basketball at its best!)  Having students share pictures of their parent(s)/guardian(s) alma mater or images of the mascot geotagged would be a great discussion starter.  You can develop it any way you wish based on your students.  Based on your location you might consider football session if that is what is followed in your area:) Enjoy!
