After a wild and crazy first day back with the teachers, I'm exhausted. I was supposed to facilitate the faculty learning how to put things on their webpage. Between all the conversations and questions like "how do I cut and past?" it was a tough session, both times. You would think that teachers in the year 2011 would know basic computer skills like copy and paste.

It amazes me when we talk the big talk about making our students life-time learners when so many of my kind, teachers, don't want to learn. Teachers are a strange breed that seem to think they know lots, but it seems to me they only know about whatever it is that they teach and aren't curious to know anything else.

After being on FaceBook with many of our teachers here, I'm not too sure they know basic grammar. When you can't use the correct to, too or two and certainly not your and you're correctly, it makes me wonder what's going on inside your well-educated mind.

I just finished a discussion with a couple of teachers about the difference in saving something to the server and to their computer. After twenty minutes and five different examples I think they might have an idea of the difference, but I'm not too sure!
