Try the Ning

I've been writing this knowing full well that it's probable that no one reads this blog, especially since there's so many fine bloggers out there -- educational bloggers, that is. But, what the hey, you never know. That's why I was so surprised to find that someone, who had heard about my wiki and ning from the Trinity talk visited me at the Ning and left me with a juicy site to explore. Yea! Maybe more folks will stop by.
Anyway she recommended this site:

http://jenuinetech.com/

There's projects and ideas for K-6 and it's a nice looking site. I'm going to be sending it to our teachers and adding it to the wiki page.

The site is created by Jennifer Wagner, a former tech person, who also has a nice blog.

I'm definitely subscribing.

I Survived (now I can worry about something else)

The presentation went fairly well, considering. I tried not to get discombooberated when I walked into the room and nothing was set up. I tried not to worry that I was going to forget something all through Mass. I tried not to get flustered when links didn't work because the computer I was given was so filtered that it's a wonder it did anything.
Those hardy folks (Cheryl & Marti included) who stuck around to the end seemed to be interested. I should have brought some cookies or something for them as a prize for sticking it out.
Hopefully, those who got the information will be going to the Ning, or at least the Wiki, so that we can get some networking accomplished. If you did -- please spread the word.
In the meantime, thanks be to God and a special shout out to St. Isadore of Seville.
