Today the two girls presented their video to PSU concerning the Janus project. We have a resounding thumbs up from them. We needed to someone else to to view the video to make sure that our biases were not running rampant. They suggested a couple of changes, which the girls will make. From there, it is to get the final, ship it to San Antonio, present it the committee, and then do some presentations around the district. It is a good vid, and the girls need a big congratulation. We are working through the problems with laps and boards, and I have faced some unique scenarios such as embedding web pages into Activstudio, etc. It does keep me on my toes. I have two meetings tomorrow with teachers interested in integrating technology into their classes. I also have some other meetings to discuss other technologies with other teachers. They are beginning to come to me more with these problems. I have a lot to do since I missed this morning. I vill be baack 2morrow..........flick

Still working on the various duties I have to get done. Yesterday, I forgot to talk about working with two students on the Janus project. I have alluded to this before, and we did interviews last night at Penn State. Whoa, I cannot believe that January is almost over. The presentation went well; I will have to arrange a time to talk to the powers and get the official assessment. Even with the network glitches, I thought it went well. K does well in the classroom and is a good fit here and for me. I also talked with some teachers to help them with some technical things. The meetings were all good. I do love working with them. I began working on some things, and that is when I got sick and had to go home. I do not regret my surgery, but I do hate what happens to me sometimes. I know I have to live with it, but it is quite incapacitating; Friday was bad. I will just have to catch up next week. Have a great weekend.........flick
