I am back after the hiatus of the holiday and dr appointment, and what to my eyes do appear, (nope not eight tiny reindeer) but a voluminous amount of work to get caught up. We have the installation of Promethean boards this week as well as the handing out of laptops. If that is not enough, I also have to get the teachers ready for Embedded Learning and bring them up to speed about the how to use the boards. Also, without the IT person on board, I have been saddled with working on some problems, but it with mainly CFF problems. That is taking enough of my time. I sent out over 50 emails today dealing primarily with CFF. I also know that I am going to have to get my log up-to-date, etc. This is my first blog of the new year, and it does feel good to get back in the proverbial saddle. I am anxious to bring the new teachers on board. Sure, it will be trying, and I will face the same recalcitrance by some. In the end it is worth it. I just had a talk today with a tech ed teacher and told him how progressive his department has been for years when working with students. I think it is neat, and we all could learn. Well, I need to finish this and hit the trail. I will be back again tomorrow, if we have school. the weather does suck out there right now.....toots

Guess What? Come on, guess......you got it--no school. This has happened quite a bit in the last four weeks, but it is for the best. I am here finishing some things and helping our techie get ready for the TSA (Technology Students of America) regional competition. We have a large chapter, and I love to see what the students create. I do help a few of them with projects, but that is part of coaching. It just does not deal with classes. I finished my written statement for the school newsletter and googledoced (how do you like that new verb) to my cohort in the elementary level. I vowed today that I will get my CFF log up-to-date next week. I do dislike that part of my position, but I also know that it helps with the grant. It will be a busy day on my day off because I also have to help a colleague with his computer due to a malware problem. Well, I need to go; I will leave all of my blog fans (I think I am now up to one [me]) in anticipation of next week's continuing adventures of CFFFlick at PV. I know the humor is lame, but I am okay with it--besides, it's my blog. Have a great weekend.........
