I wore three inches of my shoes today. I must admit that the inundation was quite overwhelming, but I did conquer almost all. I also had an interesting meeting with the powers; I am not at liberty to discuss the meeting, but I am sure that there will be more to expose in the weeks ahead. I did attend the PSEA meeting on the retirement fund, and I know that it does not deal with technology, but in a round about way it does. The PA government in its infinite wisdom decided to delay payments to the pension fund, and now the payment is coming due. I love how government looks out for the people. The reason why this deals with technology is because now that the payment is due school districts are scrambling to pay it and technology will be cut to fulfill the monetary demand. I will refrain from lambasting those involved. tomorrow................flick

After coming back from the Challenger Center meeting, I still like the idea, but I think the vision might be too much for the community, and I also question the concept of hiring only two full-time people to staff the facility. Something of this magnitude, I believe, would require more than two full-time staffers. I will go and visit one of the facilities and get the skinny on the operation. I also did some Photoshop today in two classes, and I enjoyed dealing with it a whole lot. I have finished the tutorial for the teacher web pages and have worked with a couple of teachers on this task. My philosophy of personalizing their sites will remain the same with all. I know there is a comfort level when working with these, and that comfort level will increase with the correct tutelage. I am hold TTWF after school, but there is a PSEA meeting after school today so I doubt if I will have anyone. Be back tomorrow............flick
