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

I have been doing a lot of research today for teachers, and it has been great. Being a resource person can be time consuming, but it all pays off in the end with sum learnin'. I guess I am like the proverbial sweet tooth in a candy store when I am able to find something new or a new web site that helps in the dissemination of knowledge. I still love the aspect of learning and discovery. There is so much out there, and I know that I am only scratching the surface. I am continually updating the wiki with more and more information for teachers to use. One of the middle level teachers skyped me into her class today so her students could view the process. I also helped on some hardware issues, set up some student projects with jing, worked with audacity with students, etc. One never knows what he/she will be doing next in this job, and I like that just fine. Oh, my prinicpal showed me a video which I feel is quite appropriate for this whole initiative. It deals with a university setting, which I feel many times spouts how it should be but does not practice what is preached. It is a great video, and I hope that you enjoy it.
