The postman has been.

I have this terrible habit of clicking twice with my mouse.  Now this normally doesn't cause any problems but when you are paying bills or buying goods on the Internet it can be embarrassing.  I had an outstanding credit card debt that I wanted to pay, and, I payed it twice.   Well, I have some extra credit I can spend.
Then I did the same thing with a purchase from the USA.  Now I'm trying to salvage the situation by going through my birthday book to see if some of the purchase could be used as a gift.

I bought this wonderful magazine from Joggles on-line store.  And I was able to give a copy to my friend.

We are unable to use blogs in the classroom because of security problems.  However, I see that they are trying to find a way to introduce them in a controlled environment.  I know my students would be blown away with some of the sites and I think that it would be a wonderful tool for teaching literacy.

I introduced some of my year 9 students to using their sewing machine as a pencil for drawing.  That gave me such a buzz.  They were so excited with what they might be able to do with it.  We started with how stitches could be programed into the machine.  Then when I lowered the feed dogs and started to free sew the level of interest went up about 500%.  I am so glad I'm a teacher.
