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 23-THE END

So I have always believed that honest is the best policy so here goes....THIS WAS THE BEST PD EVER. I haven't been so excited about a PD since I took Teach to Future which was an entire class on power point, smartboard, etc almost ten years ago when I first started at Newington. This made me realize that really making good use of all the technology out there isn't as hard as it may seem. Not only will it make things more interesting to my students, it also is more interesting to me. I think a lot of the technology that we played around with is useful in our real lives and our teaching lives and can be invaluable to our classrooms. My plan is to use most of this technology as the school year starts and hope that my students really get the benefit of all these great and amazing technological advances at our finger tips. THANKS FOR A GREAT OPPORTUNITY!!!!

So glad that you were a part of this -- I know that you started a bit ahead of the curve, having been a blogger for a while -- so I'm happy that you were able to take away some new skills and apply them to what you've already begun to do with technology. Enjoy working with your new tools!

It's amazing how quickly technology evolves and all the ways it can be applied, isn't it?
