Learning in the Lou

I saw some signs around Truman last year like this.  Had to reshare this video because it is so powerful.  One little saying can make such a change.   What is the sign you will hold today?

This internet is a pretty amazing place.  Here are a few things I found today. Video Games! I miss those super videos games of my youth.  They sure don't make the graphics like they used to.  The Internet Archive is a great source for all things digital.  They have a page where some of these old games can be played right on your laptop.  Give it a try and bring back those fun memories.  (My kids felt sorry for me when they saw these games.) BYOD Here is an infographic that I found about devices in a BYOD classroom.  Might not be as powerful as the ET game but it is still pretty cool.
