A very short week but if itoday is any indication of what it is going to be like, give me a long week any day. I found out today via email that part of our CFF is not up to date so I took it upon myself, after I checked out the responsibility of filling out this form, of course, to bring us up to date. It is not quite done, and I will finish it tomorrow. I also had to perform some menial duties and prepare for a presentation tomorrow and one after Thanksgiving. I also had to perform some duties with my workstation. Via email I found a disturbing site called Vexspot. The premise of this site is to thread anonymously about anything. I call it disturbing because I could not believe some of the vile comments I read about people in different school districts. I relayed the information to IT which blocked the site immediately. Many thanks to the listserv. Also, thanks to the listserv, I was able to look at Mikogo. This is a collaboration type software which will interface with Skype. I can conference with people I invite and show them my desktop. This could work with tutoring students on specific problems or with teachers. I like the looks of it, and will test it further. I must admit that I am looking forward to the Thanksgiving break. It is now snowing and all activities after school were canceled; maybe a delay tomorrow--we will see. Have a great evening, I will be back on the blogging circuit tomorrow.
