I recently attended the 2008 I.C.E. (Illinois Technology Conference for Educators), which I feel privilege to attend every year. I attended the conference for three days and had many wonderful experiences.
Day One: I was on the I.C.E. Tech Support Team with a great group of people.
Day Two: Attended an all-day workshop using Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 to develop database-driven web applications.
Day Three: Along with our Technology Director, MJ Warden and Network Administrator, Nick Peronti, we hosted a poster session showcasing our District 74 website and Drupal. I think I speak for the three of us when I say how proud we were to show what we have done as a team and as a district.
Bloggin' For You
Submitted by Gina Shalzi on Tue, 2007-02-13 21:47.You are reading my blog. Pretty soon, you will be reading many blogs on this website. Welcome to District 74’s new website with exciting new technologies. I would like to quote the definition of a “blog” according to Wikipedia:
Blog
from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A blog is a user-generated website where entries are made in journal style and displayed in a reverse chronological order.
Blogs often provide commentary or news on a particular subject, such as food, politics, or local news; some function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual although some focus on photographs (photoblog), sketchblog, videos (vlog), or audio (podcasting), and are part of a wider network of social media.
The term "blog" is derived from "Web log." "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.
As of November 2006, blog search engine Technorati was tracking nearly 60 million blogs.
Isn't Technology del.icio.us?
Submitted by Gina Shalzi on Tue, 2007-02-13 18:33.While co-teaching Excel with MJ Warden, I have rediscovered one of my favorite internet tools - a site called del.icio.us. Yes, the url is 
http://del.icio.us. This site is considered "social bookmarking". It's like having traveling bookmarks. You can go to any computer and open your own personal del.icio.us site. Here you can view your favorites sites/bookmarks, organize them, and even see who else has bookmarked these same sites. I encourage you to check out this site and sign up today-it's free! Check out my personal del.icio.us site at http://del.icio.us/rshalzi. I have bookmarked some very good sites which promote Excel in the classroom. I think you should take a peek. Technology is so S-W-E-E-T.
