The purpose of this list is to facilitate conversation and the sharing of resources. This list is not limited to just tech talk. Teachers and adminis… Continue

In this contest, students are asked to ponder the question, "What if..." and use their imaginations to construct their very own Google Doodle. The winner will have their doodle appear on Google's home page for a day… Continue

I remember you from your visit very well. I'm glad to hear you made it back for your 25th.
I hear from Mara and others at LFCDS every once in awhile, but I have not been back since the renovations were done. I have heard it is terrific!
If you see Curt Lieneck please give him my regards. Stay well, Sam

I haven't seen you in a while, but I still check out your Friday 5 when I need ideas for my teachers.
Did you set up a language learning lab at the Lab school? We have some money, now I'm looking for ideas.
Have a great Thanksgiving!

Alex Ragone said… - Hi Lucy, I haven't signed up for the Kean conference yet. Too many conferences, huh? Kean is only 16 minutes from my house (at least Google maps says so) so maybe we can meet?
Glad you got home safe and sound. Happy Thanksgiving. - Alex
