Here at the TechTeacher Network, the goal is to continue to bring you the best content that I can through my podcast and blog. As I have shared in the past, my vision is to continue delivering both of these resources to you, and take them to the next level. This means raising the production level of my podcasts, bringing back my vodcasts and actually doing LIVE video stream shows; which you can participate in.

It didn't take very long this summer for my wife and I to hear the words form our son, "I board". Of course, we offered the classic suggestions, go ride your bike, read a book, why don't you write in your journal, or why don't you pick up your room. Then I got to thinking...why not blog about something you love...LEGOs. So together we build a blog page together. We set some ground rules, we kept them simple because he is only seven: 
1. We would publish together
2. He would need to write out his posting on paper first...we would edit together
3. Content comes first, then images 

Not only will this blog keep his writing skills fresh over the summer, but I felt the comments or feedback would be encouraging. There is nothing more exciting than writing to an authentic audience. On top of that, we will be tracking the visits using Google Analytics which will actually show the location of each visitor. I also decided to add some Yahoo Click Ads so he could raise some funds from each click for the LEGO Robotic Kit he has been asking for. I will keep you posted on this project during the year, and if you would like to visit and leave a comment, I am sure he would be thrilled.  [Click Here]

I ran across this add for a new online store called Goodwill Too. It is the same Goodwill, carrying donated items, but they also carry refurbished and new items. What caught my attention was the add showed iPods and accessories...I couldn't pass clicking on the link. To my surprise, the prices were very cheap, at least compared to the other prices that I found for the iPod Classic Video and new 4 and 8 Gig Nano. They also offer a 1 year warranty that is really unheard of on refurbished item. As I have mentioned in the past, I believe the Nano is the perfect device for the classroom. The price is manageable for buying sets and the size really fits the hands of the students. For more information and to find your own bargains. Visit their site and not only get a great deal, but help someone in need at the same time.
