I Am Truly Honored!

I have been finding out that most of you are saving my weekly e-mail newsletters.  I am truly honored!  You really know how to make a person feel good!  However, I have the newsletters archived on my web site, so you don't need to save them.  I have the first half of school year 2001-2002, and all of this year on the web!  Just click on:

  http://teach.fcps.net/trt4/enews.htm

If you forget this web address, don't worry.  I always put the link at the top of the news letter!
P.S.  I have lost the e-mails with last year's Derby sites (4.22.02 and 4.29.02).  if you have a copy, I'd like to get then so I can put them on the web.  You can just e-mail them to me!  Thanks!

 

New address:

The Instructional Technology website has a new address.  It is no longer "itech", but is now "teach".  To reach those web pages, go to:

http://teach.fcps.net

 Competency Assurance

It's now on our web pages.  Maggie Wilson has been working on this for quite a while.... it was a major undertaking.  You'll want to save this in your "Favorites!"

Tech Tip - Refresh

Most websites are regularly up-dated, and new items are continuously added.  To be sure you are viewing the most recent web page, click on "Refresh" in Internet Explorer or "Reload" in Netscape.  As always with Microsoft, there are several ways to "Refresh."

Click on the "Refresh" icon on the tool bar
or
Press the F5 key at the top of your keyboard
or
Go the Menu Bar and click on "View"/"Refresh."

Many web sites post some type of note suggesting that the viewer "Refresh" to see the latest web page.  A number of schools and teachers put such a message at the top of their web pages.

Thanks to Joy Buckingham for this tip!
