3. Let me help you. Invite me into your classes when you are using the equipment or Internet. Let me know if you want to update a lesson or project to include the equipment or Web 2.0 Tools. It is my job to help you integrate technology into your classes.

4. My new motto: "**Don't Redo. Make New.**"

5. Comments from our English teachers who attended the CFF Collaboration Day at York School of Tech. Next collaboration day is February 4 for Math teachers.

6. How are wireless connections in your classes? Less drops? Faster? Mr. DiPiano and crew are working on updates and solutions.

7. Embedded Learning Class--Everyone should now be working through the course. Please spend some time today working on the course. The emails notifying you of due dates are guidelines only. The course must be completed by June 5.

8. MiniShops--I want to offer a 45 minute workshop on setting up and basic use of a Wiki. This would be open to all teachers if they wanted to sign up. What day of the week would be best for after school? Are there other topics to cover? Any one interested in learning more about Moodle? Mondays, Wednesdays
