Ohhh Memphis is a wonderful town.  Sorry I have not posted in a while.  A girlfriend and I spent four days in Memphis enjoying the food, entertainment and shopping.  This was my first girl’s getaway and now I know what I have been missing.  I came back home with more energy and a clear mind.  Not that I was frantic before the getaway but I now have a refreshed sense of well being.

We have decided to make this an annual event.  I am already counting down the days until next year.

E-Mail a New Reader

I sent a comment over to N. Z. Waikato at the Tamaki Today blog.  Their class has been kind enough to follow by blog.  I hope I am worthy of their following.  Tamaki Today’s blog is used to promote the work of Room Six at Tamaki Intermediate School located in Panmure, Auckland, New Zealand.  Check out their blog it is very interesting and a lot of fun.

Also as a way to enlist more readers I am going to send out a message using Twitter.  This is a great means to networking.

Wow – If technology only had the ability to wire harness the inter-workings of my co-worker’s brain. She has more information in there than I think is humanly possible. Every time I mention a roadblock she comes up with a solution. The newest one is Jing. This application allows you to capture anything on your screen and turn it into a picture or video.  This is how all those individuals are adding tutorial videos to their blogs.



It is so easy.  This is screen shot of my home computer screen.  As you can see I was able to add text and arrows to point out features.  Way cool.    Have fun add Jing to your applications.

The winter break has officially ended.  Headed back to school today.  The students seemed to be ready to get back into their routines.  The strangest thing happened – had a computer glitch in the library.  Over the break all the students were moved up a year.  All of the 8th graders were no longer in our system and were now showing up as High School freshman.  The kids thought it was funny.  Glitched repaired in no time.  The libary blog is up and rolling.  Students have been writing book reviews and seem to be navigating their way around the site.  Take a look and visit often.  There will always be changes.  http://swmlibrary.edublogs.org
