Not much on the new technology front these days.  The CA state budget pretty much killed anything new I had going on.  Those are the breaks when you work in a small county office of education.

So here's some of what I've been doing lately:

• Using our new SIS database to prepare for the CSIS Annual SSID Maintenance submission.  We have purchased PROMIS (http://www.mypromis.org) from San Joaquin COE's CEDR division.
• Keeping an eye on cool stuff for our county teachers.  I recently found Wired.com's wiki site and read through "How to Take Microphotographs".  I'll be sharing it with my county tech advisory group this afternoon.
• Maintaining our computer lab.  15 iMacs (Intel Core 2 Duo) running OS X 10.5 and Windows XP (SP3) through Parallels.  We host webcasts, web conferences, and technology classes in that room.  Keeping the OS updates on two OSs takes at least a couple of hours a week.  (Apple is getting as bad as Microsoft with the constant updates!) ;)

Hope your school year is going well.
(and yes, I will post about the LiveScribe PulsePen as soon as I get my hasnds on one!)

Best,
Daniel
