Thing 1-3

Making the Avatar was pretty fun, I used Yahoo and will soon explore other free avatar makers. Exporting it was not as much fun. I find that the avatar doesn't always show up and I'm not sure why. Three cheers and much self-congratulating occured when it first appeared. Hope it stays put.

Love the Common Craft videos from YouTube -- brilliant folks. Have used them often in presentations about using technology. Parents especially seem to appreciate them.

The aticles by the Davids (Armano) on the 4Cs of blogging and (Warlick) 2 Cents Worth on Edublogging confirmed what we have been working on with students and teachers -- that clear communication is of paramount importance always and even more so in our digital age. It's the whole "perception" thing.
