I’m sure I’m missing a few things, so feel free to reply.

We’re learning how to use NET MEETING! HAHAHA. This stupid program hasn’t been upgraded since 2000. There are tons of better programs out there like google talk. But most important of all, what the heck does this have to do with education technology? You are correct, nothing! Then we did mail merge, boring. He just said "Your gas bill, they do it with mail merge." HAHA.

I brought some math catalogs from work. I’ve got $200 to spend on stuff for my classroom, so I’m looking for stuff I could use. There are some cool things that can really help kids grasp different concepts. There are integer chips to visually show kids adding positives and negatives, overhead calculators, fun games, and a cool poster of Einstein sticking his tongue out. I’m going to buy a ton of small things so I can get lots! Yaaaay!
