Well, it went much better than I could have anticipated. The instructer could almost be a stand-up comic. He's a very reasonable guy, makes the class as interesting and easy as possible. All of us in there are teachers, and I am enjoying hearing a little bit about the world of middle school and the world of high school.
By the end of the class, I'll be able to design my own webpage, have an entire lesson in PowerPoint (I'm doing an introductory lesson on tropical rainforests), edit digital film, and I'm not sure what else. Quite a lot for 4 days of instruction.
It was nice to hang out with a bunch of the teachers at lunchtime, too. But I must say that I behaved like a "bad" student when he surprised us with homework due the next day (we'd already spent all day in class; then we had to go home and do our homework), and before I could restrain myself, I heard myself say, "due tomorrow?? tomorrow?" Unfortunately, his hearing is better than mine; he heard me in the front of the room, and answered, "Yes. tomorrow." I was so embarrassed. Oh well. He's right. Teachers make the worst students ;)

Designing your own webpage... so does that mean you'll be making a new page in addition to your blog?
