Don't Let This Happen To You

I had a friend who didn't take part in this amazing and free Technology Preparation Program at her school. She had a great life up to that point, you know - the perfect family, the perfect pet, great car.... Then after four days of not taking part in the first module of the training program, things began to fall apart. First, she woke up on the Friday morning and her laptop wouldn't work.

After pulling herself together, with coffee and keys in hand she was ready for the drive into school.  Imagine her horror when she realized she had four flat tires.

Could things get worse? She immediately had a sinking feeling when she remembered the words of her school's technology integration specialist during the Monday meeting. "Through this technology integration course we will build a community of collaboration." She knew it was code for something, but what?

Distraught, she arranged a ride with a teacher who had already started the course. Incidentally, the day before,  this other teacher had an insurance claim come through which curiously included a free upgrade to her car.

On the drive down to the end of the street our unfortunate friend let forth a piercing cry of anguish. There in the middle of the road was her family pet possum, Polly. Things surely couldn't get worse... Right then and there, she resolved to put some effort into the technology program by starting a Gmail account and carefully reading the requirements of week one.
