What a day! Today was definitely work day here at my job.  Most of the day was spent cleaning house and making sure that I don't forget about anything that I need to do before my family leaves for a week.  We will have no access to phones, or internet, so if my work needs me I will be unreachable...yikes! However, if nothing catastrophic happens (like the internet going down at work or something) then we should be good.

As far as tips or hints: never eat soggy waffles. Unless they are soggy from syrup, and then they are delicious. Oh, and if something stops working on your computer or device, try rebooting. 

I have been teaching Computer Tech for a couple of years, love Microsoft Excel, and just started the spreadsheet unit this year.  This application is such a powerful tool, and I keep looking for ways to improve my lessons so my students will learn to love Excel as much as I do.  There are so many features that make it amazing, but it seems like it is the art that makes it appealing to some. 

I recently published the Microsoft Excel module in our LMS and the following picture was waiting for them:

So, before I even posted the assignment they started creating their own.  Several of them have created a few already and the assignment (called Pixel Art) isn't due until this Friday.  I'm excited to look through what they create and I will post some pictures soon.
