It’s that TIME!  TECH TIME is HERE!

Grab your typing fingers, computer skills, and trackpads and be ready to begin!  I’m looking forward to working with you this year in Technology.  Part of technology is going to be to learn new things and build upon the knowledge from last year.  So I want to hear from you!  Add your answers to the following 2 questions in a comment.

1. What did you like best about technology class last year?
2. What would you like to learn about in technology this year?  If you don’t know what something is called, describe it.  =)

This year is going to be a great year!  I’m looking forward to working with you and I’ll see you on the first day of technology class!

I came across this great Olympic feature with Google maps as I was catching up on my Blog Reading.  Google Maps has made a special map with Medal Counts, Events, and Stadiums.  The Stadium tab is by far my favorite!  You can click on a Stadium name and be taken there!  Most stadiums have videos, photos, and additional information about the venue!

It truely is amazing how much technology has changed over the last decade.  It has allowed so many viewers to experience the Olympic spirit from their own living rooms.  Check it out!
