Standing Room Only

Room B305 was crammed with Mac users and even a few PC users. There wasn’t an empty seat in the house. All the chairs were taken, people were sitting on the floor in the center isle, standing on the wall and even sitting kris-cross applesauce under the projection screen.
I’ve presented lessons hundreds of times but never to a crowd of that magnitude and I must admit that it felt great. The participants were enthusiastic and ready to learn. Mr. Winton did a formidable job with the step-by-step presentation of creating a welcome page in iWeb and Mr. Anderson did an outstanding job assisting with the audience members with their questions. After our introductions and the step-by-step guide of creating the welcome page I helped the participants delve deeper into iWeb. I briefly introduced podcasting, blogging, and incorporating movies. I also showed examples of several of our teacher pages (Mrs. Taylor, Mrs. Ortiz, & Mrs. Davis thank you:-). All this was done while the participants worked on their sites and received assistance from Mr. Anderson, Mr. Winton, & me. We wrapped up with a question and answer session that was not only informational it was also fascinating.
Several participants ended the session by telling us that we were the best session they’d attended!

After our presentation we returned to the hotel and relaxed before going to dinner. We went to dinner at Jalapeño Charlie’s. It was excellent. The waiter suggested two great entree’s. David ordered Molcajete and I ordered Huasteca a la Charle’s. For dessert we shared an order of flan. Superb is the word. Malcajete is a combination of carrorts, celery, & your choice of meat in an oven heated lava rock filled with bubbling Ranchero sauce. Huasteca a la Charle’s includes your choice of meat with sauteed onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, and Chipolte cream sauce, topped with Chilhuahua cheese and baked to golden brown.

Tomorrow is our last day. I look forward to tomorrows sessions.
