I am still working with Movie Maker and having a blast with it. I am worried about the timeline with the students so I am mostly acting as a troubleshooter and helper to get them going. I talked with the teacher about getting some flip cameras, and she has actually started the process. They will take off well. I also scheduled some time for a teacher to talk about eportfolios with a class of seniors. I love this topic, and I know that the software is there to create some fabulous ones, but there is a limitation of time. There is no doubt that the use of eportfolios will explode in the next decade, and the traditional resume will be gathering dust with the telephone. I also experienced the same problem with the wireless today. It is so odd. I had to call the network wizard for help. This needs to be handled. My trip to the elementary yesterday did not go as planned. I cannot solve the issue of Activprimary. I may have to call another wizard. Hey, a busy but not a bad day................flick

I spent the entire day in Harrisburg at a Microsoft conference. In my role as a CFF coach, I know that I need to broaden my skills in various applications. I am working toward that. I know that I am weak in dealing with network issues and software, but I have resolved to strengthen myself in that area as well as others. I know you are asking what CFF has to do with networking. Well, I will tell you. I am finding that many of our issues deal with networking so the more I understand the more I am able to deal with the problem. It allows me to deal with the techies better, etc. I also have always wanted to do this. The conference helped me to u nderstand things, and the software was great. I even got an evaluation copy of Server 2008 to explore. I am glad the Microsoft has done this. I must get to work creating an image, etc. Oh, I did forget to tell you that I had another comment from a student who has started to blog. I think this is great. I am awaiting to hear from others. Talk with ye tomorrow.
