My long-time pal and colleague, Des King, is entering retirement this week after a long and successful teaching career. I want to wish him all the best and to send him off with his own recommendation as the final posting of the year. "A palindrome reads the same backwards as forward. This video reads the exactopposite backwards as forward. Not only does it read the opposite, the meaning is the exact opposite. This is only a 1 minute, 44 second video and it is brilliant. Make sure you read as well as listen...forward and backward. This is a video that was submitted in a contest by a 20-year old. The contest was titled "u @ 50" by AARP. This video won second place." -- The URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=42E2fAWM6rA And so concludes Year 12 of The Teacher List! I will be in a new role next year as I begin a secondment with 2Learn.ca and am looking forward to the new challenges in education-technology that this position will present. Have a relaxing summer, everyone... -Pete ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ This is the_teacher_list mailing list, managed by FreeLists.org.
