I nominate you for the "Best Use of the Dots Dark Template Award"
Great job,

I really liked your post, it was informative and definitely satisfied all the needs for a successful assignment. Your blog was nice too, but I think you could use a pinch of more color, maybe a picture or two. What I'm saying is the blog was great, I just wish I saw some kids smiling or Abercrombie models waving American flags while I read your blog.
This is Kyle
P.S. the word verification is total lame.
I agree. More images/links would be good. I was not familiar with this organization, so thanks for a nice introduction!

ps under "layout" you can find the commenting tab and turn off word verification.
I love when organizations have a low membership fee. It seems like there are so many that it's hard to choose and stay in a budget. It seems like they are still developing their website. Did the links page display anything for you? Are you a member of the organization? If so, what are your favorite "perks" of being a member?
Great job!
Informative blog (and cute polka dots)! I had actually visited this website when I was doing some research for EDIT 6320. I enjoyed reading your description of it as well.
I liked your setup. I needed some education on this organization.
Thanks,
Benita
GAIT seems to be a great way for teachers to learn more about using technology in their classrooms. I really like the template you chose for your blog. Your posts were very informative to me!

Your blog is very attractive. Some pics would be a great addition. Since you are a technology teacher, I'm sure you are very familiar with this organization. Are you a member now? I was so excited to see that it was so affordable. Good information for us. Thanks!
Good exhibit. I noticed that several others have mentioned the affordability of membership, which also appealed to me. Does that mean we're all cheapskates? This organization looks like it would be very useful to us as LMS in keeping us abreast of what's happening in instructional technology. Thanks!
Thanks for the tips on the word verification. As the blog author--you didn't see this to post. Didn't even know it did that until I was visiting other blogs today. It's been removed!
