I have two more filing cabinets to sort through and then I will call it a day. I will box some materials and store them at school I think. I feel it is important to clear things out now and then. Sometimes we hold on to the past too closely. That is not always a healthy thing. As well, clearing out the old can help make space for the new. Cheers john Hi Sue

I am finding copies of worksheets made with gestetners and even some using a gel and carbon - those were the days. I often mention to my students about the early days of computers when we used cards to put information on to feed our programs into the computer, used ticker tape to put in info and then having our computer the size of my classroom. They don't think of how much technology has changed in the last 30 years.
