Thanks, Obe! I went to sign up immediately and discovered that my email account was already in use. I was perplexed. I requested to reset my password and discovered that I already had an account. This was definitely a Homer Simpson moment. "Doh!" I added the Forum to my Google RSS reader and am delighted to be getting messages about the SmartBoard. I love this piece of technology.

Thanks again for the invite - and in this case the reminder that I already belong. I'll become more active.

Hi Obe

Thanks for quick reply, I need this for tomorrow! You've been invaluable.
Your fab :-)

Again many thanks

Hi Obe,

I could not get access to the note book software, so couldn't see what the lesson on telling time is like. Question: Does the note book software already have lessons on how to tell time? Or do I have to design a lesson plan using what is available on the software? Is it possible to send me a video or any link, that shows me how it is done? I would be very grateful

Hope to hear from you soon
Phyllis

I will certainly forward to you any decent weblinks, apps, Notebook resources, and so on - happy to do so!

Obe, I meant to get a message in here sometime but I'm just too ADHD to "compartmentalize" my time....

thanks so much for providing the online educational resources for your school district - just wanted you to know that Fairfax County teachers appreciate it! Now, I'll TRY my best to compose a more professional, pedagogically-inclined email in the future!!

Adam

Thanks Obe!

Hi Obe

Many Thanks

Hi Obe,

I just joined MAC web 2.0 and I am really excited. Be sure to check out my profile. I am a 1st grade teacher and the CTL for my campus(computer technology liason). I train 1st and 2nd year teachers on basic computer skill applications required by my district. I have taught 18 years and would love to share ideas on how to get started on web 2.0 in as grade classroom. We are a MAC district and we also have 3 Smart boards on my campus. We have about 5,000+ plus students in our district and we are totally MAC across the district. Oh we are a K-5 campus. I hope to hear from you. I will be at the TCEA conference next week in Austin and hope to catch some great classes on web 2.0

Hi Obe,

With your work in Instructional Technology at your County Schools, I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's power point presentation platform. Both are web based platforms, have a bunch of features and free basic service.
