Very cool, Maggie! I just used it to post an announcement for an online course I teach. It would be a good attention getter for teachers to use on the webpage where they post homework assignments!

Conference talk: Please join me by leaving messages and comments

Hi Maggie,
Glad to have a collegue on the continent! Do you work at one of the American schools? I've heard good things... Our internet is actually pretty good. We switched services at the beginning of the school year, and that was a little dicey, but now that it is set up, its been pretty good! We depend on it a lot for the Library IT classes, too (I am also a 2.0 addict! ), so thank goodness! How are things where you are?
