Whew! I didn’t realize how tired I was until I returned home to 2 very excited four legged girls. They had been without momma for 3 days (which is eternity in dog years). The NCETC conference was everything I had dreamt and more. I learned so much. Now, I have to [...]
I have created a page of the notes I took during the Wednesday sessions. Good links included.
My day began with an interesting presentation on school news production – Make ‘em, Shake ‘em, Wake ‘em. The presenters had great ideas, but they were using MAC products. Ugh! I would like to research [...]

I’ve invited [...]
Today, I finished my computer test review with the 8th graders at East Lee and West Lee. I taught the same lesson 32 times! I did add a bit here and there, but basically it was the same lesson. Whew!
West Lee has been testing all week and East Lee begins next [...]
