What is a Domain Name? Really?

Thank you all for your patience; Explanation for My not using blogspot for almost a month

Our class was to temporarily reside inside of the computer lab used by the Reconnect Program's students. Reconnect students are at risk students who are on their last chance to get back into school after a series of serious disciplinary issues. These guys don't make for the best classroom mates. The number of these students grew and grew until there weren't enough computers for all of the Reconnect students and mine. It also got very loud; one day I climbed on top of a filing cabinet, cupped my hands and yelled instructions. My student sitting three seats from the filing cabinet did not hear me.

With no end in site, I put my foot down and we got out of there. We moved around to different classrooms for about 10 days. Then I moved us into our new room. Unfortunately, our new room is not setup yet. It is very difficult to teach students without computers. We have some working computers now, but they don't have LAN School installed on them, so I can't control student access.

I hope and prey that our computers will be setup when we return from Thanksgiving. My students have been so patient - I appreciate that so much. After Thanksgiving, I intend to return to our routine of students checking my blog for instructions at the beginning of class and entering their work in their blogs.

Animated Internet

 Today we will review with them the Animated Internet lesson on how to connect to the net and why http://www.learnthenet.com/english/animate/animate.htm . This is a very important lesson that I  presented very well, but you all were too distracted to get it all; Some of you are also new students who weren't here when we did that lesson.  I will use the Lanschool features "Show Teacher to Students" and "Show Student to other Students" to  make the lesson interactive. In other words, I will show them something from my screen, ask a question and then hand over screen control to a student for them to demonstrate the answer. By playing this game with the lesson, I should be able to get away with doing it a second time. We need to know this material for the midterm exam.
