I had an interesting time today trying to get a piece of database software working. I could not figure it out so I called the dreaded tech support and actually got someone who spoke English without a foreign accent (I know, stereotyping again). The first person tried well but could not solve the problem so I had to call again. The second person kicked proverbial donkey and solved the problem and taught me something about databases as well. I thank her profusely. I also worked on several teacher web sites, and I would say that over half the staff is up and running. I know as they progress my job will be tougher. That is okay with me. I look back at those teachers who got their Promethean boards two years ago and where they are now. I am amazed at how much they have increased their comfort zones. I just had a comment today from a faculty member who was proud of herself and what she was able to accomplish. I chided in on that and praised the effort. tomorrow............flick
