Technology Tuesday is in the Works!

I recently met with the Media Advisory Committee again (last week) and Mrs. Jones told me that I was welcome to present a workshop on any topic I was interested in. The only problem is that I'll need to research and learn all about the technology first. There isn't really any software program that I'm completely comfortable with (and I'm certainly not ready to share it with my colleagues yet). For tomorrow's technology Tuesday, she is going to talk about the use of a device / program called Weatherbug. This device is used to predict weather and storm patterns. It gauges the temperature, barometric pressure, etc. I believe it also collects the data it sends to some local weather broadcasting stations. It's a pretty neat device. I would love to sit in on this workshop, but I have class this Tuesday. I'm so amazed that Mrs. Jones knows all about all the technology in the school. I can't wait to get to that point myself. I've always been interested in technology and I would love to gain the knowledge necessary to troubleshoot problems and educate patrons about the hardware and software that we have available to us.

My next project is completing the forms that we are supposed to have completed by next class. I need to get the timeline completed and lay out some deadlines for myself, because right now it seems like a pretty overwhelming project (especially when I have seemingly 4 or 5 other projects due before the end of the semester).

I'll let you know how it goes. I'll keep you posted on what workshop(s) I decide to present for the faculty. I also still need to get the Principal's approval to do that, but I don't foresee that being a problem. Wish me luck!
