DANG IT!

Posted on June 26, 2007 at 4:26pm 0 Comments 0 Likes

Frustration set in as I had a presentation and my keynote would not go fullsize on the projection screen.
So I punted and it went ok but the tech visuals would have added so much.

My grandson is now living with me and job hunting with some effort but needs more push. he will attend the local two year college here.

Next month will be spent planning how to add technology to my upper dviisons in a meaningful way.
any ideas you wnat to share?

first day

okay here we go and I do mean we as I hope to speak to teachers everywhere. I am from thepre computer age but I am loving the new technology. It is so much easier than the chisel and a stone tablet. Moses would have loved this---- no need to climb Arat.

If you teach and want to to exchange ideas. contact me. If you just wish to talk about daily life that is okay also.

If not, perhaps you have some other educator contacts you could direct me to. You can view contest details at BrainyFlix.com Please let me know. Thanks!

As to your students wishing to correspond, it might be easier to find contacts after the Summer holiday - but would Swiss francophones qualify?

Best
