So here I am - week 5! As you can tell, I am still around despite the bomb threats. Last Thursday was the last threat: a text message stating the date and time (Thursday 5th during 2nd period) and place (third floor, boys' restroom) which happens to be about five classrooms away from mine. I was literally in anguish since our very "able' put the building on lockdown (nobody in or out); I decided to take the day off last Friday. We have not had any since and have been told that they have held two possible suspects and still looking for a third.
I was very excited as we made through active worlds. What a trip! Despite my getting lost a couple of times, the experience was worth every minute . I can see how we can create worlds for our students to learn through discovery. I have spread the word to some teachers in my department - we will be collaborating to build an algebra world using a pyramids theme - as the student masters certain skill they move up the pyarmids until the lesson is completed by reaching at the highest level 0n the pyramid.
Smartboard is coming along - we will be receiving formal training next Wednesday. Yey! Until then.

Let me know what you learn with your SMARTboard training. I am doing that as my "My Choice" activity. I have had a SMARTboard for a few years now but have had no training on the newest version and would love to know where to look for all the new features.
