School is out.....finally

Students were done Thursday and we finished yesterday.We have got to be the last ones! It was also a week of moving into the new building. I'm certainly not set up, my stuff is just there.
With all the PLN stuff swirling in my head this week, I stopped by the tech dept, had them get me set up for the new building and to talk web 2.0.

I got the scoop on moodle and other foreign web notions, three other teachers are wanting to set up blog pages, the district is going to powerschool, I will have direct access to googledocs, and the district doesn't have enough room on the servers to do everything but they are working on it. They also shared a little known fact...I can access the schools network directly from home! Gradebook, files, drives, everything. Would have been nice to know for this year. No more traveling back and forth with my very full jump drives.
Mark gave me a fantastic book, Using Technology with Classroom Instruction that Works (Pitler, Hubbell, Kuhn and Malenoski).
By page 11 I was hooked. If you have read the book send me your thoughts or any other books you found interesting.
