Gaggle / My Email Address / WiFi Problems

Thanks for the suggestion about Gaggle! It looks like a great site for teachers and students.

I meant to include my email address (jean.kent@comcast.net) in case you'd like to contact me with questions or have other good web sites to share. I'll continue to add them to the resources listed on the right side of the screen.

I found out today that the thunderstorms they had in Yakima last week knocked out a tower and that caused our WiFi connection problems. It doesn't lessen the frustration everyone felt but it was an act of nature and that makes it easier to understand.

Hope the rest of the conference is going well!
