It’s been a great summer

I spent three days teaching a wonderful group of teachers from my school district how to use Discovery Education Streaming and SMARTBoards. They learned alot and had an opportunity for hands on practice that you don’t get during the year. Three simultaneous boards with laptops. Access for all!! It made the days go by quickly.

Then I was married on July 26, 2008! So exciting… I married a wonderful man and am truly happy. The day was beautiful but the important part are the days ahead. “A wedding is a day; a marriage is a lifetime,” they told us at Engaged Encounter Weekend. I truly believe that.

Then it was off to Paris, France for our honeymoon. We had the most amazing time:

Now we are back. Emptying “my old place” and starting to build an “our place”.

Now that we are settling in I’m back as an active member of the DEN again. We just had a great planning session with Dennis Swain yesterday via phone conference.

Internet Safety

We are planning a PTA meeting surrounding on child safety. Topics such as getting to school safely, exploring the Internet safely etc. will be included. How nice it was to find video segments from Discovery Education Streaming that we can use! Several are very appropriate. The principal made a notation in his palm pilot to use one video in October of ‘08. Guess he liked it lol. Glad I could help him find something useful for his school.
