I'll write more soon. Thank you for being so welcoming to new people. I am inviting many people from the Innovative Teachers Forum to join MACUL Space. They really like the looks of MACUL and MACUL Space. Friendly people like you help make it happen!
Microsoft is setting up an Innovative Teachers Network and an Innovative Leaders Network also. It is in Beta form right now. I get to be part of it and all my friends do too. There are some exciting things to come.

B.T.W. Do you know what file types you can attach to blog posts. I could put the app in a compressed folder along with documentation and make it available in the post.

At 10:39am on October 18, 2007, John Tanner said…: Ben, I know it was a bit presumptuous on my part, but when you have been in education as long as I have, not necessarily a good thing, you develop a sense for good teaching and the kind of people who do it. Your enthusiasm and passion for teaching comes across in your discussions, posts and comments so I feel comfortable saying "You get it" You may not be there yet but that is where you are headed...keep it up!!!!

At 10:55am on October 18, 2007, Bud Van Genderen said…: Hey Ben! Yes, I've found out what de-stressed means and it is a good thing. Still need some part-time work to live in NJ but something will come up. Thanks for the welcome.

At 12:04pm on October 28, 2007, Laura Amatulli said…: Hey Ben- Thanks for the note. I am a Mattawan Alumni! (1988) I am looking forward to this network- exchanging, sharing, ...
I've started my own blog and receive a rare comment. This group seems much more social! Thanks

Thanks for the welcome, looking forward to future interaction. I don't currently teach but I do support our K-12 school's technology needs, so definitely open to better methods related to technology in the classroom.

Janine is the one responsible for me being connected. I did a few ASK programs with her at the ISD and she asked, after 8 years of doing the ASK program in Macomb, "Why don't you do this from home."
She helped me make the connections with Polycom and get me set up. It is great!!!

At 7:16pm on November 8, 2007, Kevin J. Galbraith said…: You know, in this economy... I've started collecting returnables to fund innovative technology projects, hence the Bottle Washer title LOL!

At 7:22pm on November 12, 2007, Rita Hughes said…: Thanks for inviting me to be your friend! As soon as I figure out what to click on, I will be!

At 12:50pm on November 13, 2007, Kevin J. Galbraith said…: Yep, Daryl Tilley inspired me.
