How May I Help You?
I am
thankful
for all the feed back I got from you. I have tons of you that
wish to get together or get together again. I think the best
thing may be for you to send me an email at least two days
ahead of time to let me know what day and time you would like to get
together. I am excited about all the requests to come and observe
a lesson. Check my schedule to see open time slots within
the days that I am at your school. That way you will know better
when we can collaborate.

Tech Tip
Have you ever sent an email before you were really ready
to send it, forgot to add an attachment or just decided you shouldn't
have sent it at all. Supposedly you can retrieve an email you
have sent as long as the receiver hasn't opened it. Here's how.
1. Open your sent folder.
2. Open the email you didn't want to send.
3. Under Action choose Recall this Message.
I love this tip since I have gotten in trouble several times for
sending out emails before I really read through them!

month's highlighted software:

Paint.
It's just not quite as fun.

color

Staff Developments
Our first staff development on Increasing Student Achievement
using Computerized Concept Mapping went over very well. Several
individuals have requested that we repeat this workshop. If you
wish for us to do this please send an email to either myself or
Gail. We need documentation of a beig enough class before we can
put it back on the offerings.
Our next staff development will be on October
6th. It is called Reviewing Core Content using Power Point Game
Shows. It will be at Amherst Elementary from 4:30-6:30. See
you there!
The final one before Christmas will be on
Digital StoryTelling. Check the Staff Development sign up page on
the Amherst Website. If you need help, please ask and I will be
happy to assist you.
