(Maybe b/c my picture was used in one of the slides?) Our speaker was great. Ron Clark from that movie on TNT. We then had a short, but informative staff meeting. Tomorrow, we are being trained on some new software, and then meeting with our team teachers. I feel for you, but at the same time, I feel a bit better about my situation!

I've only been using it for THREE YEARS. <BR/>The really bad part is being in there with people who still have trouble turning on a computer. They say things like, "I remember when a computer was the size of a room!" And I get all my stuff finished before they manage to log on, but I still have to sit there for the entire session. It's maddening.Meihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08204888054625065885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14171513.post-1154900317016845892006-08-06T16:38:00.000-05:002006-08-06T16:38:00.000-05:00Em,I have heard from many teachers on this topic, ...Em,<BR/>I have heard from many teachers on this topic, and it seems to me that many Boards of Ed. need to realize that an event such as this wastes both money and time that could be better spent elsewhere.Meihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08204888054625065885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14171513.post-1154716669550784212006-08-04T13:37:00.000-05:002006-08-04T13:37:00.000-05:00We have a similar and equally wasteful event in ou...We have a similar and equally wasteful event in our district called FallStaff.
