My school district is upgrading the wireless network. They are mounted on the ceiling and cover a greater area than what we had. Should give our classrooms better connectivity. Hooray!

This photo was actually taken yesterday. It snowed for only about an hour, and I don't think I've ever seen snowflakes this large.

Michigan State University plays in the NCAA tournament today. A win gets them to the Final Four! GO SPARTANS! I'm adding this with 12 minutes to go in the game. MSU is up by 5 at the moment.

Here my cat is.... again in a small basket. We keep napkins in this one. To try to keep her off the counter, we have started to keep in on the refrigerator.

My cat, Xena, loves to squeeze into small baskets and boxes. This cannot be comfortable, but I found her sleeping in our daily mail basket.

AT & T is offering a new Internet service to folks in my neighborhood, and it looks like they are getting ready to begin installing the fiber...lots of little flags all over the place.

This photo collage was made with one of the tools in JD's Big Huge Labs. I made all kinds of fun creations with the tools available there. If you use Flickr, you will enjoy seeing what is there.

Tonight was Art Appreciation Night before my district's Board of Education meeting. This picture, drawn by a 1st grade artist, is my favorite. I got permission from her parents to post it on my blog.

My brother-in-law made this beautiful rose out of metal!

I received this special chocolate bar over two years ago. I helped a group of teacher leaders create digital stories, and they gave me this to show their appreciation. I'll never eat it.

I keep this slinky in my office. I never pick it up, but it is fun to look at!

I'm on the MACUL Conference blogging team. This week I am posting an entry about the gadgets I will be taking to the conference. I'll be taking two laptops (Mac & PC), since I'll be facilitating a half-day session in a blended lab setting, a microphone, a webcam, a hand held GPS, a digital camera, an mp3 player that is also a voice recorder, a mini digital video camera, and a cell phone. I use a carry bag on wheels now!
