Lisa Thumann presented the morning keynote at NJEA Technology Integration Institute. She has posted the skills to her blog, Thurmann Resources along with a slide presentation. Something well worth discussing and thinking about. What 21st Century skills do our students need? It is great to see Lisa Thumann has been so keen to share her ideas electronically.

The Apple Activity Monitor is very similar to Windows Task Manager. You can look for it in Spotlight but it is in the Applications/Utilities folder. It is handy to monitor activity when your laptop isn’t running properly. It is also handy, as it was this morning, for shutting down programmes which are hanging. I tried to quit from dock, I tried the command -shift – tab and then Q. Nothing. Word just would not shut down. I keep activity monitor in my dock. I opened it and forced quit from the big red button top left after I had highlighted the offending programme! Fixed. I could then get on with my day.
