Okay...so I skipped October and November...I'm sorry!

Alright...so I am not so good at this blogging thing as I previously thought I would be...or I just don't have enough time???

First I want to apologize for not being able to get the White Oak District Tech Buffet thing together like I thought I could. We have had so much going on with the Tier One Rollout (hopefully many of you are enjoying your new laptops while reading this blog) and a lot going on at my schools!

White Oak High School has started a Tech Buffet and has had three sessions to date. I think it is going well and hope the teacher's are enjoying it as well. We have 5 sessions left with a lot to learn.

Just in case you didn't know, the Spring Staff Development list came out last week. There are some great technology classes being offered. I encourage all of you to take as many of these classes as possible! I will be teaching Blogging and Wiki's and SmartBoard (as far as I know???)

Okay, now for some fun stuff! I heard about two great videos on YouTube and thought you would enjoy them. But before I give you the two videos, I found another video on YouTube that talks about both of these videos and a couple other interesting tech tidbits. Here is the link to that video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4f9kn6LMz6g . The Wii video is ingenious! It is about a man who uses his Wii remote, projector and LED pen to create an interactive Whiteboard (if any of you try this...I better be one of the first people you show!!!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5s5EvhHy7eQ The second is about Fair Use and Copyright and is pretty cute: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJn_jC4FNDo . I hope you enjoy all 3 of these videos!

As always, if you have a great project idea, need project ideas, need an extra hand in the classroom for you tech. project, please let me know! Merry Christmas and I will try not to be off the blog for so long next time!
