For my PC friends…

Podcasting

• Create a podcast that you will be able to

utilize in your classroom.

Or

• Use GarageBand to create an accompaniment that you will use this school year

Or

• If you feel that you would like to work more on your wikipage or blog, evaluate software or websites,or work on your lesson plan, you may

do that instead. Please use the time to work on a project that will enhance your classroom this fall.
