Where In The World is Barbara Barr?

As many of you already know, the last couple of weeks I've been tied to a desk.  I've been a part of a team writing a huge grant in collaboration with the Medical School of UCLA. It's a National Science Foundation grant, and it has kept several of us rather busy!

Next week I will be at the Florida Educational Technology Conference.  It's one of the largest technology conference in the United States, and attracts many international educators.  The session I am presenting is on FREE web-based literacy activities and projects, and will also be offered here at the Ambrose Computer Lab on February 12th.
