Last week I caught a cold but felt well enough to attend the Teacher’s Convention until Friday afternoon at which time I went home and died on the couch. Spent all weekend and Monday in bed. Was going to return to work on Tuesday but woke up Tuesday morning with pink eye. I’ve never had it and was informed by the doctor that I cannot return to work until Friday. Frustrating because all I can think about is my course blog that students are suppose to be working on and other digital projects. So I thought that with all of this time on my hands I would explore a few more Web tools but my computer won’t let me access them because I don’t have “administrative privileges”. AHHH! I was hoping to add to the collaborative wiki but until I get back to work and get someone to “open up” my computer I’m pretty much in limbo. Can you hear the whining coming through????
I guess I could clean the house or bake. Nahhh, I’ll check out some more blogs, view a few more videos, check our Voicethread to see how some of my students are doing, get caught in emails, and marking. Perhaps not that frustrating of a week after all!!
I showed this short video clip to my husband and son the other day and they thought it was funny; and that it accurately describes the state that some find themselves in today when it comes to technology. I thought it was pretty funny.

The clip is funny, and really puts things into perspective for new learners. Thanks for sharing!

I love that video. I’ve worked as an in-school tech. support teacher for the last couple of years, and so can really relate. The teacher who passed the video on to me suggested that I play it at the next staff meeting, but I didn’t want to come across as condescending to any of my colleagues.
