What a week! And it was supposed to be spring break.

Just dropping a note to catch up. Last week was spring break and it was busy dealing with some family medical stuff and is still going on, so I got kinda got behind. On a positive note, my 17 year old son spent the past 10 days in Egypt on a school trip and comes back tomorrow, really excited. They went to Cairo, did a 3 day cruise down the Nile, took and overnight train ride and of course saw a ton of stuff. I hope to post some pictures that he is sure to have taken. More on that later.

As far as the tech stuff goes, I am still kinda struggling. I have been trying to upload a video clip and have not been having any luck. the ones I want to use don't end with the correct ending .mpg or .jif or whatever. Anybody have some suggestions? All this teck stuff is really new to me, and I wish I had the capabilities, plus allotted time, to make use of it in the classroom. The way things are set up now though, it is just a dream, but a good one to have. I am glad this calss is forcing an old dog to learn some new tricks. Hopefully I'll be able to perform them in front of an audience of students one day :)
