February 27-28, 2009

I put two days here bacuause on the 28th I did some IT stuff for TSA. The group had its regional competition here at PV, and they needed an IT person. There were some glitches, but we got it working for the most part. PV did well in the competition. I also had a talk with my counterpart last year, and some of the things she is doing. It was quite good, and I do love to find out how she in integrating technology. We also talked with one of the TSA people from a district near here and heard his horror stories about his fight to just get computers. Some people need to get out of their caves. Friday turned out to be a lot of fun talking with the seniors and how to create electronic documents for view to a prospective employer. The students liked the talk, and T did a great job of assisting. Everything that I have researched for eports deals with PDF's, and I do understand why. We also solved a problem with the Janus video, and it should be ready quite soon. I also created a DVD for the middle school teachers for their conference. I did not have time to edit it, but I kind of liked the raw footage better with all of its foibles. A good week with a lot of learning on all levels. Well, I am posting this the first day of March, and so far it is coming in like a lamb. We will revisit the adage on the last day of the month. I will be talking with all of you later. Oh, I had to change the color scheme for this month to reflect Hibernia..........flick

PS--Hey, I forgot to thank C for all of his help Saturday. I do appreciate it....smack

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.........
