Wednesday was rainy, very rainy. There was a big plan to go snorkelling, but with unfavourable weather we choose relaxing with some rum punch instead! Before a little rum punch in the rain (really whose idea is it to come to the Caribbean in rainy, hurricane season anyway?!) we had a very successful Day 3.
We started off with blogging, adding widgets and videos to our blogs! We also looked at adding pages, not just posts!
We were fortunate to have @jswiatek Skype in with us to talk all about student blogging! It was a first Skype experience for many of the Dominica educators. It was great to share just how easy and quick it is to connect.
Thanks Jerry!

Jen,
It was a pleasure to speak to you and all of the great teachers of Dominica. I hope you’ll share all of your blog addresses. I’d love to subscribe to them to keep up with how things are going. Thank you again…
Good job!

I hope he returned Nemo to his dad. He’s been searching the whole ocean for him.
