Amazon Kindle

I bought the latest gadget called the Kindle and was really surprised that with the first 10 mins of ownership I had the Boston Globe downloaded with a 2 week free trial subscription!!!!! It didn't even jump on my wireless system which was most impressive. I was very satisfied with the product and look forward to much kindling on cold winter nights!

Another day

Conference is over and a good time was had by all! It was really great to hear from people in our district that they had reignited their passion to teach with new technology tools. I too experienced the same excitement when I discovered Phonevite! A new communication tool that allows you to create a phone message and mass deliver it WHATEVER TIME you want! What a great way to remind parents they have a field trip that day and kids should bring lunches or coats! That's my cool tool of the day for sure!

My evening tonight consisted of presenting an Internet Safety for Parents class. It was nice to see 20-25 folks come out for such an important topic but wish more would pay attention to the need for safety. My goal is to tell the few that are listening and hopefully it will spread throughout our community that the need for safety is real.
Another day, Another Website to discover.....till then.....Tech on.
