Kodu Cup Winners Announced - late edit in today's post
I spent part of this weekend installing new kitchen cabinets. Not all of us computer geeks are afraid of hand tools and physical labor. 
On the other hand I’m sort of looking forward to less strenuous work today. And getting my act together for ISTE the end of the month. Speaking of ISTE, my friends at Dell (DellEDU ) are getting ready with plans with preconference info, social media, and sessions. Including this event jointly with Microsoft.
- Microsoft Innovative Educator pre-conference workshop Sunday, June 26, 8:30 a.m. A hands-on professional development session on using technology effectively in the classroom. Register early.
