Week of 8/30/2010

lcome to the first ever online edition of Gator Bites.  This new format will allow us to include multimedia (like audio and video as well as photographs and presentations) in each week's newsletter, Plus, it also gives us the chance to discuss the items contained in each week's Gator Bites. Because this is a blog, you'll be able to comment on each week's "21st Century Resource" or let me know when I get your birthday wrong! :)

Don't worry, the calendar is still very easy to print.  However, this format is intended to help us all save paper, so hopefully you'll take advantage of the online version and save a few trees.

Also, don't forget to check out the sidebar to the left.  In addition to the MGMS photographic slideshow, you'll also find a listing of staff birthdays, a weekly tech resource review and a selection of useful links.  

Finally, as the calendar below notes, the short film Finish Strong will be broadcast on Tuesday morning -- Per Robin, all students are expected to watch.  If you weren't at our first staff meeting on the 17th, the video is embedded here for you to preview.  (Does anyone remember which movie from the 80s featured the song The Eye of the Tiger??  Better yet, does anyone remember who sang it??)



And now, here's this week's calendar!
 




Have a great week, everyone!
