Oct. 24 Professional Development

Starring.......Carla!!  Yes, I gave a two hour professional development "course" in 40 minutes.  I touched on and went over the wonderful options available to all teachers through Google Docs, which led to my Google doc presentation on Dropbox.  My principal, Malissa, wanted teachers to start using Dropbox so she asked Marylin, my mentor, to do it, but she figured it would be good for me to do so she could tell Dr. Luck all that I'm doing.  I love giving presentations and I get all excited while doing it.  Several teachers went to their rooms later and downloaded it and are already making great comments about it to me.  I've got an appointment with the 1st grade teachers for Nov. 17 to go over Google Docs more throughly.

On another note, I have changed out an ethernet that was tore up from being stepped on and jerked on while in the jack.  We are currently using some older 260 machines that are breaking down left and right.  I'm hoping they will upgrade us sooner rather than later.  Marylin took out two hard drives while with me Monday afternoon.  She is going to send the new hard drives to me when they come in and I'll replace them.  So we are back and working after our two week fall break and I'm feeling rested and ready for more challenges.  Tech on!!
