Google Tools with Rick Weinberg

Friday, November 14th, 2008

One of my main goals many months ago was to become an “expert” on Google Tools and maybe even apply to go to the Google Teacher Academy (GTA)……however, I have not been as good on that goal as I would like to have been.  My realization was the workshop Rick Weinberg put on today for [...]

Oversaturation

Monday, August 4th, 2008

Just trying to formulate thoughts on the “oversaturation” of the web. How many new sites can possibly come out?  I can’t keep track of what I even looked at last week!  .com, .net, .fm, is there a .carls somewhere???

Need to get back in the swing of this blog. Paperwork, paperwork. Need to find more time, somehow.

Worked with Portville Math teachers using Smart AirLiner.  Great group and they ate it all up.  They’re going to work well with it.  Noticing some changes with Smart and how they are making you enter a serial number to use the new version 10.  I haven’t upgraded yet for my SmartAirLiner, but am seeing an increase [...]

Thoughts before vacation….

Thursday, April 10th, 2008

Just trying to finish some stuff up before I attempt the drive to Myrtle Beach for our first family vacation.  We need to get the temperatures up there a little more!  Going with the Giardini’s and Blocher!  Pray for us! 
Today starts the Masters and if you can’t find it on tv (or want to watch [...]
