Three Strikes for Technology at Edison

To add to your technology meltdowns, Sarah and Andy, I (Melissa here) was ready to have my students log into Blogger to comment on my post, but.....THE DISTRICT IS BLOCKING BLOGGER.

Agghh.  It is my personal mandate this year to try to integrate technology into the regular, ongoing curriculum (instead of - or in addition to) big technology projects.  Getting my 8th graders up and running on Blogger has been challenging, despite the technology gains I made with them last year.  Still, one group is particularly ready and able.  But, no go today.

Strike One - Andy's Day
Strike Two - Sarah's Day
Strike Three - Melissa's Day.

But they were all the same day. 

I guess we're out for now.  Andy's a baseball fan.  We'll try to win the next game, ok team?
