Connectivity Issues

I respect the district policy of blocking sites fro, students and sraff.  The intention is good.  I use videos to complement my teaching and because youtube is blocked in my district, I bring along my on wi-fi connection.  I was ready to go and wow my class with these wonderful data about the world wide web, when my network connection just can not be found.  Since I started school a while back I have never had any issues with connectivity.  sigh.  another stumbling block.

WORDLE

I love wordles.  They just take brainstorming and idea mapping to a whole new level!  Create one yourself.

Edscape 2011

   Who wants to spend a  gorgeous Saturday indoors to learn more about technology applications for education?  Apparently, me and  a few hundreds of educators.   Armed with a warm and frothy cup of pumpkin spice latte, I got on my white metallic steed and zoomed my way to New Milford High School.
Rosemary S. and Mr. Anton, both from EPSD were also in attendance.   I attended four exciting and useful sessions.  I feel like Mary Poppins with a bagful of tricks to try out with my students.
Symbaloo, Google search story, 20 cool things I can do with a smartboard.

I can't wait. I can't wait.  I can't wait.
