In Plain English

I often search for "In Plain English" videos when I'm introducing a new web 2.0 concept to my students. The presentations are easy to follow and understand and are often funny!  It's all good...


Near home...

I chose this picture, because it reminds me of Hanover, New Hampshire where
I work and close to where I live.  It amazes me that the busy college town of Hanover is surrounded by protected land and the Appalacian Trail.  In the Summer it's a daily sight to see "through hikers" in town looking for food and a shower. This picture is literally the back yard of our school!  One day I walked out around 5 and saw two baby deer and their mother.  I feel lucky to be where I am!

Post 2 - My Wordle...Thanks Bryan!

My First Post - What I'd like to learn in this class...

Welcome!  I'm excited to learn more things I can use in my job.  I teach computer literacy classes at our school and I also help teachers integrate.  I go to workshops and conferences but that hasn't been enough.  I feel quite overwhelmed by all that's out there and I hope by taking this class I can get a better handle on what tools are out there and how they can help instruction at our school.  Thanks for reading...more to come!
