Well students, sometimes in life things don’t always work the way you want to; that is what makes life interesting! This week we had some technical problems as the main server room got wet, wet, wet!  Thankfully,  there was no major damage to the school server.  On the other hand, we were without a network or the Internet for almost 2 days, the 2 days when I have most of my grade 8 classes. In adition, this week is exam week, so those UNLUCKY students in 804, 805, 803 and 802 will have an additional week to get everything ready. I know how much you wanted to do your presentations this week…hehe.

I am experimenting with ivideo and youtube. Here is the first presentation I uploaded today. It’s taken me at least 30 minutes getting this video done, not including the transfer time from the camera. I don’t think I will have time to upload all the videos on youtube. We will see… I  started with this one because it is a great one. You can see that this student knows what he is talking about and PRACTICED his presentation. Notice how he is actually TALKING to us, not just reading from his notes. It’s the first A++ I’ve given in 4 years.
