i always love february break. it sneaks right up on me, unlike christmas break, where the countdown is on from thanksgiving until that last week in december.

so far i've been doing some work on the yearbook, eating cake, and cooking things like burritos and risotto, vegetarian of course.

i was up in sunset park earlier today with some friends who have fancy cameras and like taking pictures. we tried to catch the sunset but were too late. there were some nice dogs. i thought i might bump into some students but didn't.

what should we work on in tech when we're back to school? i promised we'd do some stuff with videos, and then i want to work on knols. if you don't know what a knol is, you can read about them here: http://knol.google.com/k.

i hope everyone is having a good break, and i hope everyone is blogging like crazy. and i hope nobody is sharing personal information like names, addresses, contact info, and that kind of stuff.

ttyl!

Amazing Blogging Kids

On Friday, last week, I walked around the room while all of my students were either working in partners or individually on their blogs. I was amazed at some of the blogs I saw. One student is working on a blog about her culture and country. Another team is working on a blog giving Teen advice. There are several blogs about games, fashion, and sports. I can't wait to read all of them and keep up with their posts.

Congratulations to all of my students whose blogs are so much fun to read!

Teacher of Technology

thank you for stopping by my blog.

this is a new blog, and here you'll find my experiences, challenges, and stories about what it's like, being a technology teacher in brooklyn.

i love the school where i'm teaching, and it only took me 4 years to find it.

my students are generally pretty motivated, bright, interesting, and respectful.

it is my hope that this blog will serve as a sample for my students' own blogs, and also as a place for me to share my thoughts on teaching technology in brooklyn.

come visit me again!
