Back from vacation!

Fortunately (or unfortunately for my classwork) we were on winter break last week! The Orlando Marriott was GREAT!! The gameroom was totally lame (my kids agreed!) We ended up at WonderWorks when it rained. There were these two computer stations where you could design your own rollercoaster then go on the ride (3D) you had just designed and a flight simulation (also 3D) then you could go on that ride. Cool as heck!!!! Many other digital fun stuff!!!Time to get to work on Sims...I have alot of catching up to do.
Thanks for the posts everyone!

Bonjour,
I hope to become a teacher that begins to think like her students, challenging them in their world, not the old boring world of education!
Hopefully, by the end of this course I will be have developed "hooks" to motivate all types of students to read and learn.
I am sure that my own children will be thrilled to see me enter in their world of gaming, helping mom play the "easy" games.
