There are many things in life that I am thankful for, but high speed Internet is near the top of my list right now. I just returned from spending time at my in-laws in Atlanta, Georgia. I love my in-laws, but they are on dial-up - ’nuff said.

Last night I had the pleasure of being a part of the Women of Web2.0 chat room discussion with Leslie Fisher. What a great experience.
Leslie chated for almost 2 hours. She listed and discussed her top 5 tech toys. You know she had us enthralled! Who among us is not a [...]
I just read MS_Teacher’s blog describing the 13 things that her students do that annoy her. Very funny, if you can relate to a middle school teacher. But, then again, we are a different breed. I would swear that the kids get together and plot to do these things intermittently just to [...]

The other school, that [...]

Today was an interesting day. It started with me reviewing for the computer skills test at the alternative school in our county. Everything was going fine, until I was walking the students to their next class. I had 5 kids in front of me and had one behind me tying his shoe [...]
