I will be in the HS tomorrow afternoon from 12:30-3:30, but I can't make it in Friday. I get my mac tomorrow! I get it early and get trained on it because I'm going to be a trainer on August 28th when the rest of you get them!

What a fun way to motivate students by allowing them to aquire and present information in so many new ways. The possiblities seem endless!
