Working my way through THING 2

Well, I've read through the blogs of my peers and was discouraged when I saw some are already working on THING 6 & 7.  I spent MEA duty days having a promethean board and software installed in my classroom.  I'm very excited, and can't wait for the formal training on Wednesday afternoon, right before I go to the October MILI meeting.  

As a result of these events I chose to google blog search on promethean boards and found a teacher post that had 11 students raving about the use of this bit of technology in their classroom.  I hope that my students are equally excited as I learn how to incorporate all of the "bells & whistles" into my teaching.  I do admit that I was very excited to see both orthographic and isometric graph paper templates already pre-loaded within its software.  I also like that with a promethean board if your hand drags while you write, it doesn't leave a mark.

I must admit after two long days of grading, grant writing, and working in my classroom I'm a bit tired tonight, but for some reason I find myself typing away on this awesome new Mac laptop, and trying to get caught up on my MILI responsibilities.  :-)

Well, back to the Metronet Wiki to continue my homework for THING 2.

Blogs are great for this type of up-to-date/need-it-now information. Glad you found some helpful info. Good luck with your board!
