    Not much is happening in my district of 30,000 kids--at least K-6. I don't know what goes on in MS and HS tech-wise. Last week we did our first video conference and we were the SECOND in the district!! Sad.

    Thanks for the reply and the links to your site. Awesome!
    As to my stimulus - I taught forever at the same school, became stifled by admin at every turn, so I transferred to the school in our county with the lowest scores on state tests & NCLB measures. These children are so needy in every way, and I have a principal who believes in me & my wild ideas. These students need to be taught how to learn, and I believe improving my use of instructional technology is the answer. And I won't have to do it by myself,,,by creating my personal learning network I have a huge team!

    For about 12 years I was a tech bandwagon fanatic. I presented in my district, state, and at 5 times at NECC. I am a great presenter, if I do say so myself--but about 4 years ago I threw in the towel.

    I decided I'd learned enough to keep my own students active, engaged and learning with technology to last me a lifetime (or until I retire--soon). I saw no changes in my district so I gave up!! I'm an advocate of giving the equipment and training to those who will use it and the rest be damned!! haha! Good luck with your projects,

    You can see all we've done lately here--http://anotsodifferentplace.blogspot.com/2007/07/where-is-all-your-stuff.html

    Sean,
    Thank you for all of your input on Blogs Discussions & Wikis. I've only just found Classroom 2.0, and despite having been a tech teacher for the last 10 years am only just beginning to venture into the features that it offers. I really liked what you had to say about sitting down and watching the students. Thanks for taking the time. I'll definitely be checking out your recommended sites.
