Education Seminar

So now that I am working in the education field, I was invited to a seminar for my morning job. The exciting thing to me about the seminar was the location -- Cowboys Stadium with free parking! I knew that I would probably never have the opportunity to go to the stadium especially with free parking again. That is a magnificent building. We also had lunch served to us and it was delicious, served on real plates with real silverware!

The seminar was to go over technology in education. One thing I learned is that we can each have a windows.live account and we all have 25 GB of storage in "the cloud". Wow -- so I set up my windows live account and stored a picture. In Microsoft Office 2010 it is possible to save directly to your own "skydrive". You can also choose which files are private and which your network can see. Your network is the friends you choose to be in your network. Seems pretty handy to me.

Another website that I learned about is last.fm It's a cool website where you can choose your own music and make playlists. I might make one for "working on the computer music" and one for "cleaning house music". (The second one won't be used much). I really don't know how to make the playlists -- I haven't played with it yet.

We had some good speakers and I probably learned a lot -- some useful and some not so much. I did get a tour of the stadium and got to go into the locker room where each locker cost between 9 and 10 thousand dollars! We were not allowed to touch them. They said that this room is the most rented out room in the building. People have cocktail parties in there -- and some have proposed in front of their favorite cowboy's locker! There is no odor -- no equipment is actually stored in this building!! It is brought over before the game and then taken back to the other place afterwards!

I'm growing up and going to seminars again!


Few days later -- played with last.fm awhile and still like it, but I won't be making any track lists because that option costs $3 a month which isn't worth it to me. So I just pick a "station" and see what happens. I did find that unlike some people, I can't concentrate if music is playing loudly!

Who the Heck am I?

I've been trying to figure that out. I am ...
a Christian, a wife, a mother to adult children, an owner of dogs and cats, a friend, a tutor, a math geek, a reader, a scrapbooker, a computer user, an instructor to adults learning about computers, a napper, a tv watcher, and many other things.

I've been through many stages in my life....childhood, teenage years, college, career woman, early marriage, kids at home, substitute teacher, PTA mom, homeschool mom, and now empty nest....I wish I could figure out now what/where I am supposed to be. Maybe this is it for now, but God isn't finished with me yet.
