How May I Help You?

     What is one of the most powerful 21st Century methods to communicate with your student's families?  It's the classroom web page!   If you are looking for some great ideas for your web pages, you probably need to look no further than the schools in Fayette County.  Each week, more and more classroom web sites appear.  You can find links to the school web sites from the FCPS site: http://www.fcps.net

     Are you looking for some great web activities to link to your classroom web pages?  I have some excellent links located at:

Tech Tip:

     Did you know you can extend the life of the CD drive on your computer?  This could be an important tip to know as technology funds shrink, and we'll need to make our equipment last longer!  Many brands of computers have a button on or near the CD drive to BOTH open and close the drive.  I recently learned from some technology students that it is better to use the button to both open and close CD drive.  I have been guilty of using the button to open the CD drive, but then pushing it shut with my hand.   But I know better now!
