Row, row, row your boat!

My Darlin Daughter

So, Day one of spring break, I jokingly tell my daughter, "I'm sorry I didn't get up early this morning and bake you muffins for breakfast before I left for work." Without a moment's hesitation, she looks at me and deadpans "I forgive you"...and we both broke up laughing...I love her!!..and I will bake her muffins tomorrow! (I have a very short window to spoil her!)

Marching on

Congratulations to all the wonderful winners and thank you for making my life more FUN!!!

FIRST DAY OF SPRING--Thursday, March 20,2008

I'm tossing winter away...Happy FIRST Spring Day!

The Luck of the Irish

My father-in-law is 100% Irish, my mother was born on St. Patrick's Day. Oh heck, everybody is IRISH on March 17th...and its a VERRRY big deal in the O'Laighn house!!

Yeah, this is the professor who is dying from pancreatic cancer and making a mark beforehand. His old lectures (saving time was the best!) are awesome too. This was one of his quotes I threw in Flickrtoys...What a gift he is!

Teachers REALLY want to learn Technology!

I had a great time at the RCET conference and for those brave teachers who forged through the 8+ inches of white stuff...it was a PLEASURE TO WORK WITH ALL OF YOU!!

Where is the Rubric?

So many conferences lately have give me SOOOO many new tools! I need a rubric to help me decide my preferences in all of these tools...or do I rely on my creativity and enthusiasm at the moment? I've been trying my own rule, "If I can think of three ways to use this in the classroom....it goes in my toolbox!"
