Chapter 6 finally gets around to discussing the integration of technology into instruction....and it's kind of a shame they took so long to actually get to the point. There really wasn't anything too new here; technology is, and has been for a while, a powerful tool for educators to make their lessons flexible and responsive to a wide variety of learning needs.
As far as learning new things is concerned...our second powerpoint project forced me to dust off a few of my presentation making skills that I'd honed in the Air Force, where Powerpoint is king. I'm a big fan of review games, though, as a decent way to take the edge off an upcoming test and to foster active involvement of students in studying so the project turned out to be somewhat enjoyable.
Warped Tour was pretty decent, this weekend. New Found Glory put on a great show, along with all of the other headliners. The city of Green Cove Springs, on the other hand, left something to be desired. If you're a small town hosting a large event, at least make some kind of effort at managing traffic...that's all I ask.

thats cool you went to warp tour! sounds like a good time!
Was New Found Glory the only band to perform. I'm glad you had a decent time
I was supposed to go to Warp tour in st.pete but i didn't make it because it rained. I agree traffic can be ridiculous at those events!
I love learning how to create a gameboard in PP. I especially enjoyed adding animation (moving) and sounds in PP.
I use to love to make power points in high school, its funny how much ive forgoten since than!!
I like New Found Glory!I am sure the other bands were awesome too! I wish I could have gone to Warped tour!
I've never really enjoyed NFG. Well, that's a lie. At one point I did for a few weeks, and then I started getting annoyed. Traffic is always going to be crap when you don't have enough time to say, build more roads, but the people are already there. It's not like they're going to leave (they just might not come back). I'm sure they don't depend on that much tourism though.
