Thing 14 & Thing 16 - Wiki

I have started a Wiki: http://technicallyspeaking.wikispaces.com/

I hope this will be beneficial to our staff when we change from Office 2003 to Office 2007 next year.

I like this Wiki in particular: http://gmiller.wikispaces.com/
and I love this quote from his site.
"Competence is the enemy of change"
From the Dangerously Irrevalant Blog

"Competent people resist change. Why? Because change threatens to make them less competent. And competent people like being competent. That's who they are, and sometimes that's all they've got. No wonder they're not in a hurry to rock the boat. . . . In the face of change, the competent are helpless. It doesn't take a lot of time to change … to reinvent … or to redesign.No, it doesn't take time; it takes will. The will to change.The will to take a risk.The will to become incompetent – at least for a while."
I want to become the most incompetent teacher around! ;)" gmiller

I found another site that I think would be beneficial to any elementary teacher. http://mcadorylab.wikispaces.com/ McAdory Elementary School Technology Lab Wiki. This wiki is being used to share resource links with their parents and students. There are several pages of really neat information.

I encourage you to subscribe to the Dangerously Irrelevant blog to get more good stuff right from the source. And funny story, I was actually in a fantasy baseball league with Scott Mcleod last year! You'll see a picture of me on his blog.
