Hi James,
Get ready for some excitement. There is so much to do at this grade level and their creativity never stops. I would use MSWord for keyboarding and I would have students create friendly letters. One of my favorite Word projects is creati...

- Ashara, I know, months later and now I respond! I just knew we would meet up with each other at MACUL! We did not. So, here are some questions for you:
are you on facebook? I just joined and I must say I'm impressed with it. Next question, are you going to NECC in DC?

- Hi Ashara:
It's been a while, I know, but have you been attending LNA training with Ms. Palmer? If so, what do you think of it? Are you a part of the LNA training?

miztech said… - Thanks for the invitation. My mom is about to leave where I grew up there on Collingwood. The last time I was in the lab was for one of the CLiP rotation meetings when the computer literacy program first began. 23 labs had at least 8 Apple IIs and we all thought we were hot stuff. I was at Drew and we had the largest lab - 17 Apples. Looks like some progress is being made at least with the hardware. ^o^

- I would be glad to fill you in. Congrats on admission to WSU - got my BA there.
The last time I visited Durfee I started to cry. The computer room was in my old homeroom - Room 221 - that used to be the sewing room. The tears were a big surprise. ^o^
Technology is the forgotten curriculum everywhere. We have to just keep pushing. Part of the problem is administrations refusal to force the issue. I was reading a study by Yong Zhao who was quoting teachers who said they did not want to make any changes. I thought it weird that education is the only profession I know where the employees can refuse to do things and still keep their jobs.

www.Mrnussbaum.com is a great website I just discovered last week. I have only used it in the classroom for math, specifically for graphing data. I teach special education and my students have a hard time creating graphs by hand. We just completed...
