Sorry jeff I have been posting in the wrong places again. but I think that you will find them . I have been thinking about how things here has changed in the past years and I have noticed alot of newer things. From the old compuers to the new up to date computers. from the black and white copiers to the color copiers.the fax machines and even the cameras. I even had the opportunity to visit a deaf camp one summer and I was quite amazed at how children with hearing and vision disabilities are able to communicate with each other and also to the outside world. Little machines that one can put into their ears to hear and how they communicate without saying a word. It was an eye opening experience that I had enjoyed and one I will never forget.
when I first read this it made me mad because I feel that what she does during her time is no one elses business only because she is not at work in the school. It also makes me mad that her boss or who ever does not have the right to go snooping in ones life. I feel that that is private but then again she should not have posted that picture even though it doesn't show anything bad only that she is drinking out of a cup and then again it doesn't show what she is drinking, then again it isn't like she is dancing on a table half nude or something bad. That is ridiculous. I do believe that a teacher should be able to live up to a certain amount of high standards but come on now teachers do have somewhat of a life. Don't they? Its bad enough that teachers aren't allowed to be seen in public drinking as long as they are of age but that woman was of age. I hope that other teachers have access to this story and we should think before we post pictures and to think of their actions. Think before you post anything.

An issue that would bother me would be bullying among classmates. That could and would carry outside of the school and it could create alot of tension among the classand would start a fight, which we would not want. No insulting another person because of their religion or culture. This would be unacceptable to do to anyone. 3-Rules.(1)no fowl language - that is not what we or other people would want to read from a child especially for others to read on-line. (2)limited pictures- this should be limited to one school picture or one taken from a teacher for obvious reasons.(3)No personal information-for the fact that we really don't know who also is reading these blogs whether its another child or not.

A daily science journal would work best for wikipedia so that the student will always be able to go to if they want to change something they don't like or that the can always add other important items that they want to add onto their work. Then they can share their info. with other classmates and also the teacher can always have the ability to check if their students have been doing their work. I think that this is a great way for both teachers and classmates to work together and to be able to share with anyone. All the info. they need would be there for them it would mean that they would have to do some reading .The teacher would also have the ability to help if they are too shy to ask for assistance.

The other day I was talking to my son and his girlfriend, they are both in grade 11. I asked them what an e-book was and if they knew. my son replied that they are an annoying little thing that they use at the school{some staff and students}. Rebecca said that she don't care for them either and I asked why and they both replied that they just don't like them. so if thats the case then why would people want them if the teens of today don't care for them and that they are so annoying? why do they invent all of these little gadgets that teens don't like? isn't it alittle crazy to be making them if our teens don't like them, but then again I only talked to two teens. Aren't they suppose to make things that the teens like or is it for business reasons or is to make alittle money for someones pockets. I just don't know.

Well. I don't know what to say. jeff I sent you my report along time ago and I don't know where I sent it but its in space somewhere and apparently it didn't go to you. This is sooo confusing at times especially when one forgets their password. I tried to keep it with one but...anyway,I went to the casino the other day and just thinking about how tech. is changing . I gave it a look around the place and to see all those machines, the cameras, and where to place your bets on tv sports and of course the bank machines. just think of how much goes through that place. and all that electricity being used. gives me the willies. the security workers with all those fancy cell phones.What would happen if the power shut off and the back-up power didn't click in . What would happen? would they all be losers or what?I know they would all just sit in the dark and wait it out maybe get a little fire water into them to keep warm.

Hi . Today was just another day but a student left early today and then her mom called to say that she left behind her ipod. Wow I put it away for her and I couldn't believe how small it was. I couldn't even figure out how to turn it on. It was sooo small. I thought I would share my ipod experience. tomorrow I will ask her how it works and I will give you my thoughts.

I was telling a friend about this on-line course and I pointed to the tv and I told her that I use to like that tv until it started to talk.I had to inform her about the program and that is how we communicate and she was amazed about how technology is changing . I don't know where my notes were sent but they are in cyberspace somewhere. Thanks Darcy for setting me straight. I just remembered when I was in high school and they were showing us how technology was going to change{big screen tv} I thought that they were full of something and now that I see in front of me I wonder what else they have in store for us. Makes me wonder. Now I am still wondering what is next? I was impressed with some of those presentations the other night. Good job cybers.

hi cybers. well I shared my info. with my son about what Jeff said about webcams and he laughed and said that he is glad he doesn't use it any more. I use to work with a child that had a hearing problem and was with her when she got introduced to a fm system and it was impressing. I took her outside with her fm on and she kept asking what this and that sound was, things that she has never heard before like a bird chirping or even a page turning. she was amazed at the sounds she was able to hear. I had attended a deaf camp with her and we were both amased at all the children that were in the camp and they came from all over canada. alot of these kids were both deaf or deaf and coulldn't talk but they had ways of communicating with or without some sort of help. It was different and I'll never forget that . well have to go now. see- ya.

I'm in between classes right now. I am a TA in grade 3 and I have worked in mah-sos for 10 yrs. I have a 2yr degree in early childhood. I don't know too much about computers. I have worked alot with the digital camera and downloading and printing. I have a 7mth old blacklab/boxer female dog and she has very, very sharp teeth. I would pity anybody if they tried to get in my house, especially if she didn't know them. no mercy.
