I’ve been assigned my very first full-fledge Computer Apps class and I’m finding life without iTunes (not included on district image) sad.

How have people from the MLTI project worked around this issue?

Thanks!

Hi SEEDlings and welcome back to school.

One of my goals this year is to learn more about GIS so I can help teachers develop units with it. I see GIS as a wonderful tool with the potential for supporting integrated units incorporating social studies, math, science, language arts, etc.

The new MLTI image includes MyWorld, Pasco’s GIS software (donated by Pasco) but I haven’t had time to play with it yet. I’ve heard of some great projects students have done analyzing election results or answering questions such as “Where should a nuclear waste facility be built?” Have any of you developed GIS projects with teachers and students?

According to the Internet, for every 100 users 1 will create content, 10 will interact with it (comments) and 89 will just view it.

Statistically speaking we either have to add to our user base or convince David Trask to starting writing to the blog.

Any thoughts or ideas how we can get a little more life into this blog? (Statistically one of you should comment back.)

Recently, I sent a number of people in my local hiking group a link to our web site and some pictures. People really appreciate my hard work, but something has gone terribly wrong.

In return for my efforts, one of the hikers has placed me her “I must forward this person every joke I receive” list. Some of these “jokes” include picture after picture, which really slows down how quickly the rest of my junk mail is downloaded.

What’s your advice for handling this situation? Is there an email etiquette guide you can recommend?

Thanks,

Hi all. As I prepare to give laptops to my staff, I’m thinking about the training session they must participate in to get their laptops for the summer. You know, care and feeding of your machine. Does anyone have a basic outline of what they’ve used in the past? Hate to reinvent the wheel and know that so many of you have done this many times before…Thanks in advance for any help, tips/tricks, warnings, or suggestions you have to offer! ~Steph.
