It’s been a tech filled Spring Break this year.  I spent Friday and Saturday on a Tennessee Network Writing Project Retreat.  Interacting with the tech liaisons from the other writing projects was inspiring and energizing.  I spent all day Sunday trying to catch up on html and all things tech.  I didn’t know how much I didn’t know!  What a great way to spend a lot of time.

As an obsessive teaching with technology nerd, I’ve made this blog to keep track of all of the other links to other obttn sites.  If you’re here, you may be one too!  This is my attempt to reorganize all of the bookmarks I’ve saved in various places and frankly, I just like the look of a blog better.

I hope you can use these.  I’ve only just begun.  Feel free to comment and add your own links.
