Hi Pat,
I am lagging behind. Too many irons in the fire (I can't even come up with my own metaphor). Congratulations, Woo, hoo!!!, on the grant for the laptop lab. I know you'll love it. Expect some glitches to start, but if your tech people support you, it will go well. I have saved the url to your cyber comp page in my favorites, but I also want to put a link to your site on mine. I will try to do that today.
Today is sort of a landmark day for me and my class. My students will be responding to the first email from their web pal, a teacher education student from St. Xavier University in Chicago. Meg H. got me connected with her professor from there and he and I worked this little web pal thing out. I hope it will be fun for my students, educational for his (maybe even educational for some of mine!!!!), and something that we can continue in the future. The sharing will last only six weeks, but it is better than not having the experience at all. Plus, if it went on all year, I imagine that some of my students would take it for granted.
Any word about San Franciso??? Where has the doctor princess been lately anyway????
Talk to you soon, Pat.
