A teacher in my school pointed me out this video a year ago. I really think is very much the same reaction that some people have in front of a laptop.

I saw Frank McCourt last year at the OASL/WLMA Conference in Portland, OR. He died today at the same age as my dad, and from the same thing (melanoma) as my father- in- law 22 years ago. Very sad. What a great character he was.

La Política es como una acequia
June 23, 2009 | Leave a Comment
Hace pocos días hablé con mi padre por teléfono y me comentó sobre la política en Chile. Sus palabras me quedaron dando vueltas y decidí escribirlas para no olvidarme. Según él, la política es como una acequia sucia llena de muñecas rotas, pañales, cáscaras de plátanos y hasta guaguas muertas. Y de pronto, entre toda [...]

I just watched the Google Wave demo and really got impressed with the seamless of its communication abilities. Cannot wait to start the wave and teach students to use it for collaborative projects.
