Some of the ways we use these tools will enhance our kids learning, and some may turn out to be silly. However, the capabilities of these tools, while part of our focus at the moment, is not the point of our work together. Improving our teaching and learning is! So, take a minute and reflect on what youve seen and done here, and comment on one or two ideas you think are worth pursuing (though not necessarily by you), and why. After initial posting, well read each others comments and respond.</FONT></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p><FONT face="Times New Roman,Times,Serif" size=2> </FONT></o:p></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT size=2><FONT face="Times New Roman,Times,Serif">Write in Word, then cut and paste your work into the comment section below. <B style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><I style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">-- PJC</I></B></FONT></FONT></P> http://radio.weblogs.com/0119709/categories/conversationAtHolderness/2003/06/10.html#a76 Tue, 10 Jun 2003 16:39:08 GMT http://radiocomments2.userland.com/comments?u=119709&p=76 The Holderness School English Department Technology Session <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman"><?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:date Year="2003" Day="10" Month="6"><B style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><I style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt"></SPAN></I></B></st1:date></FONT> </P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman"><st1:date Year="2003" Day="10" Month="6"><B style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><I style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">June 10, 2003</SPAN></I></B></st1:date><B style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><I style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">  Patrick J.
