NEW TECHNOLOGIES

I recently took a tour of St. Mark's school in Cleveland. They've installed several interactive whiteboards. The staff referred to them as "SmartBoards", but, they are another type offered by Promethean. The teachers have been trained extensively, and they are quite proficient in using the technology.

Among the features available:

  • Pre-prepared lessons on a variety of topics
  • Ability to create interactive lessons
  • Videoconferencing
  • Ability to link to internet sites
  • Remote control of the whiteboard


These technologies provide ways to use one computer with an entire class, while allowing more control over how the technology is used than multiple computers do.

Hi

After reading a good blog I tend to analyze it to see what the person behind it might be like.

I've been in the goal setting business a while now and just like most people with experience in different areas of expertise, I can tell a lot about a person just by speaking to them or reading something they've written.

You haven't wrtten any goals on paper for awhile have you? And if you have I'll bet you haven't looked at them for a long time. Right?

Goal setting is hard work, and harder still if you don't have short range goals, mid range goals and long range goals.

I think you'll agree that few people really take the time to set goals of any kind.

When is the last time you really thought about setting some real goals, or are you like the vast majority of people who just "hope for the best"?

You already know successful people aren't "just lucky", they know how to set effective goals and reach them.

I was like that once, you might be also.

How about changing all that.

Come on over to goals+ and learn exactly how to set effective goals, act on them and be the real you.

There's a ton of FREE information and who knows, this little insert in your blog might well change your life!

Happy New Year!
