Web Experience Factory is a pretty good tool for rapid development, but its designer lacks automated documentation that can be used to explain an application to a new developer. Models can get extremely complicated, especially when they're assembled by developers who are just starting to use the tool. This article describes how graphs can be generated using eclipse. Using an Eclipse Plugin to Generate Graphs I've worked with projects that, in some cases, imported dozens of other models, making it quite challenging to follow a sequence of events. About a year ago I had the idea of generating a graph showing how models are imported into each other, but quickly got lost in the details of graphing within eclipse. I recently stumbled on an open source application named Graphviz , and when I saw the simplicity of using a DOT file to describe a graph, I was able to quickly develop a plugin to inspect a WEF model and produce a graph of it. An easy candidate for a graph is tracing how

I love double spacing text when I give my kids short stories to read towards the end of the year!  The extra space in between the lines makes it a lot easier for them to track the text from left to right! This nifty keyboard shortcut will help make the task of double spacing your text in Microsoft Word a lot easier!

Here's another little nifty keyboard shortcut to make your technology experience a little easier! This is another tip that seems to work primarily in Microsoft Word, but I really do wish it worked in other programs!

Don't kids say the most hysterical things!  I have been loving all of the link ups the past few weeks, and I'm looking forward to hearing your funny kid story this week! <div align="center"><a href="http://aturntolearn.blogspot.com/2012/12/whatdidtheysay12-19.html" title="What Did They Say!?"><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OIhmtxluCS0/ULwEfazkl1I/AAAAAAAADpM/MMMzxm23B0Y/s320/What+Did+They+Say+Wednesday.png" alt="What Did They Say!?" style="border:none;" /></a></div> I've been sick this week, so I thought I'd post about a story that happened last time I was sick.  Just before Hurricane Sandy, I had bronchitis and I missed a day of school.  Once we got word that school was closed, I made phone calls to parents about the closing. When I called one of my moms she said excitedly, "I'm so glad you called! My son has been so worried about you for days because he knows you

It's time for another technology tutorial... and this one is super fun (and could make a great gift for the holidays!  This week we'll learn how to make any picture into a coloring page! Here's the poll for this week... this one won by a landslide! The picture that I used for this tutorial is one of my husband when he was 3.  How cute is he!? This tutorial definitely works best with a picture that has good lighting.  I tried it with another picture that had a dark background and it didn't look as nice... so try it with lots of different pictures!  You can download this tutorial as a PDF by clicking this picture! Note: This tutorial is hosted on Google Docs.  To save it from there, just open the file and click File > Download to save onto your computer! The next poll will be up for two weeks... since next Tuesday is Christmas Day, I won't be posting a new tutorial, but you can definitely expect one the following Tuesday (even though it's New Year's Day!)

This one I actually learned recently and I think it is the coolest!  I used to do this manually and this little shortcut would have saved me tons of time!  This tip seems to only work in Microsoft Word, but I wish this tip worked in PowerPoint!

Don't kids say the most hysterical things!  I thought it would be fun to make a weekly linky party to share some of our funniest stories!  <div align="center"><a href="http://aturntolearn.blogspot.com/2012/12/whatdidtheysay12-12.html" title="What Did They Say!?"><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OIhmtxluCS0/ULwEfazkl1I/AAAAAAAADpM/MMMzxm23B0Y/s320/What+Did+They+Say+Wednesday.png" alt="What Did They Say!?" style="border:none;" /></a></div> I have a fun holiday story to share this week... One of my girls comes up to me and says in her most excited voice, "Did you know that Santa Claus is coming to town just to see me and take a picture with me! ?" So adorable! Now... it's time to share your cute kids story from this week! Rules for the Linky Party: Share a story that one of your kids said on your blog!  If you don't have a blog, leave a comment with your story! Use the HTML

It's Tuesday again... which means it's time for another technology tutorial!  The winner for this week was how to make an outline of any text! This option won the poll its first week! So you know, the tutorial has three parts: Outline of Any Font in Microsoft Word (Mac or PC) Outline of Any Font in Microsoft PowerPoint (PC) Outline of Any Font in Microsoft PowerPoint (Mac) I hope that makes it a little easier for you to find the option that works best for you! You can download this tutorial as a PDF by clicking this picture! Note: This tutorial is hosted on Google Docs.  To save it from there, just open the file and click File > Download to save onto your computer! For next week's poll, I'm going to add how to make any picture into a coloring image.  I really hope this comes up before the holidays!  I think it would be so cute to make a coloring book with pictures of the students and give each student a copy as part of their holiday gift! This definitely works bette

Reason #5,765,432,765 why I love teaching: kids say the funniest and cutest things!  I thought it would be so much fun to read all of the things that kids all over the world are saying... so I decided to start a weekly linky party "What Did They Say? Wednesday!" <div align="center"><a href="http://aturntolearn.blogspot.com/2012/12/what-did-they-say-wednesday-linky-party.html" title="What Did They Say!?"><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OIhmtxluCS0/ULwEfazkl1I/AAAAAAAADpM/MMMzxm23B0Y/s320/What+Did+They+Say+Wednesday.png" alt="What Did They Say!?" style="border:none;" /></a></div> Here is my "What Did They Say?" story for this week: In my class this week, one of my little Kindergarten students says in his most serious voice, "Ms. Jessica, there's a problem with one the books I'm taking home today."  I'm fully expecting for one of the books to have a tear

I've been writing some more custom builders recently and had a hard time figuring out how to generate a method with arguments. Below is an example: Method method = new Method(builderCall, genContext); method.setName("myMethod"); IXml args = null; try { args = XmlUtil.parseXml("<top><Argument><Name>msgValue</Name><Type>String</Type></Argument></top>"); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } method.setArguments(args); StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer("{ \n"); sb.append(" webAppAccess.getVariables().getVariable(\"myVar\").setValue(msgValue); \n"); sb.append("}"); method.setBody(sb.toString()); method.invokeBuilder(); and here's the code added to the model on regen: /** * Generated Method [myMethod] */ public void myMethod(WebA

It's Tuesday again, and I am shockingly writing this post before the stroke of midnight! :)  The winner of this week's poll was how to embed a video in Smart Notebook!   Here's the poll for anyone interested! Now, onto the tutorial!  If your video is not .flv, check out yesterday's tutorial to learn how to convert it! Don't you just love when they're short and sweet?  You can download this tutorial as a PDF by clicking this picture! Note: This tutorial is hosted on Google Docs.  To save it from there, just open the file and click File > Download to save onto your computer! I do plan on adding some other Smart Notebook Tutorials in the future, but in the meantime I want to add a Microsoft Word/PowerPoint option... how to make any font into an outline!

I know, I know... it's not Tuesday yet I'm doing a technology tutorial!  And I know... at a glance, this tutorial doesn't seem very "teachery..." but I promise you it is!  Converting videos to another file type is perfect for adding that YouTube video to your class iPad / iTouch (even if there's no internet!) and sometimes we need to do this to help us embed videos in Smart Notebook.  Since it looks like embedding videos will win the technology poll this week, I think this is the perfect time to add it!  You can download this tutorial as a PDF by clicking this picture! Note: This tutorial is hosted on Google Docs.  To save it from there, just open the file and click File > Download to save onto your computer! If you want... start converting any videos to FLV files so that you can embed them into Smart Notebook for tomorrow's tutorial! :)
