Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Thing 1 and Thing 2

So originally I signed up for this because it looked easy and a great way to put an extra credit in the bank for some day when I needed one. Now looking at what we will be working on I am excited. I have always loved to have the newest tech stuff in my classroom and love to use it with my students.

This year I have really been working hard with my students to get into Blog and Wiki use. We use blogs weekly in my psychology class and use a Wiki for informational purposes. I am always looking for something to grab the attention of kids who spend most of their day glued to their technology.

Personally, I love this stuff. I have
my own blog that I talk about mom stuff and review books (I even do some for publishing companies), I love my new kindle, I am a full blown facebook addict, and my newest addiction is my cell phone that now has unlimited texting and Internet access (thank god I couldn't afford an iPhone or I may never have left my couch).

I can't wait to see what the rest of our Things are!!!

PS-I had way to much fun designing my avatar for this!!!!
