Free 1 Gig Thumb Drive!
Posted by tekkieteacher on September 18, 2007
Today’s featured website is our very own Technology Times. I know from chatting with a lot of you that you are reading this blog and that you seem to be finding it useful, but a blog is a Web 2.0 tool, and Web 2.0 tools are meant to be interactive. Web 2.0 is about collaboration and sharing.
With that in mind, I want to hear from you! Post a comment to any blog entry between today and next Wednesday, September 26, and your name will be entered into a drawing to win a 1 gigabyte thumb drive. As we tell our students, meaningful responses are preferred, but for this exercise even just a friendly “hello” is fine.
And no, multiple comments do not mean multiple entries of your name into the drawing. Sorry.
So, are you up to the challenge? Can you figure out how to make your voice heard in this Web 2.0 metaverse?
(This contest is only for staff at CD Hylton High School)

This is my first ever blog response. I will admit the page is very helpful and informative.

You can’t give Jeanne another thumb drive. I think you should allow the multiple entries. Look I am becoming a professional blog responder.

This is the first time I’ve looked at your blog and it’s very nice. It’s visually attractive and easy to navigate. I’be been thinking about doing something with Library blogging - maybe Virginia Readers’ Choice book discussions. I’ll talk to you about this soon.

I took a minute and watched the Abbott & Costello video on math (it was underneath Terry’s message). While math teachers may cringe at Lou Costello’s version of math, I thought it made infinitely more sense than “real” math. But if really want to see vintage Abbottt & Costello, then you should watch “Who’s on First?” You can find it on YouTube. (I’d provide the link but PWCS won’t let us access the sight.)

Terry,
I really do appreciate the way you make becoming “technically savvy” fun and interesting. Thank You for your continous support, and your friendly spirit.

Trying again to get the multiple entry rule repealed.

It is very helpful and I too, would also love a new thumb drive. Jeanne is on the tech committee, she doesn’t count! Matt, stop it…..hahaha

Well, I responed by the math video, but since I don’t see it here, I’m gonna make sure my name gets in to the special drawing!!!

bet you can’t believe that I actually did this - just trying to change my bad reputation. thanks for the gentle way you teach old dogs new tricks

I think this is a great way to share our ideas and collaborate as Terry said. I need that thumbdrive!

I like free stuff and I like thumb drives… so you can imagine how excited I was when your offer was posted.

Terry,
Your blog is awesome. You are an inspiration for all IT teachers. Windows shortcuts tips are very helpful. I know how you feel about math. My hubby has a ph.d in math and loves Abbott & Costello. Maybe the two are related, or should I say correlated?

Website Wednesday is a great collection of websites for us to go to as teachers. I also like when we receive tech tips.
September 24th, 2007 at 7:58 pm
Wow! What a response to this one! Now I know what really gets you all motivated…..free stuff!
And no, Matt, it still isn’t one entry PER response. Nice try, though!

I can always use a thumb drive.

In the exceptional words of Wayne and Garth, “Live in the now!”
September 25th, 2007 at 2:08 pm
I could alway use a thumb drive. Time number 3.
September 25th, 2007 at 2:33 pm
Well I have my name in the pot. I also know what Matt is doing while I’m teaching. Matt, those young people in front of you that are watching you type on the computer all day, they are your S T U D E N T S, teach them and i’ll buy you the Thumb. lol

YEAH! I am a first time blog user. Ok, I admit, this is a little fun and now I have to stop making jokes about all my students spending time on thier blogs. Oh, by the way, I am totally in for the multiple entries rule…I need a thumbdrive (I don’t have one…eek!)
