Blast from the past!








I will start with some of Ted's Stewart Island photos...

On Saturday I went to an amazing ICT Conference in Rotorua. It was fabulous learning about new technology, and I will mention some websites later. However, the highlight for me was meeting Linda, a friend from Playcentre days, I don't think I have seen her for 30 years or more! She is still the lovely vibrant person I knew then, and now is a Lecturer in teacher training at Waiariki Polytechnic in Rotorua. She is coming to observe a student teacher at one of my schools next term, so we are hoping to meet up again. Super! I also caught up with Lee (Galatea days) Laurie, Gayle, Anne from over my way, Lorraine who popped me on the Technology Train, and I met face to face with Wendy from Lynmore!

On Friday I went to Papamoa and sat my International Computer Driving Licence, Module 2, File management, and amazed myself by getting 83%! A pass! I had done lots of work on the module, but didn't think it had stuck! The next module is Microsoft Word, I myself love Publisher... but it does have its drawbacks. So maybe, I will become a convert to Word.

Judith, my dear friend from Lower Hutt, also a teacher, is looking to up her exercise over the holidays, I have said I will join her in that, so I will be reporting what I do here!

Ted and I are back at dancing lessons, and Tai Chi. We both need to build up some fitness though!
