      <description> <![CDATA[<div><font face="Helvetica-BoldOblique" size="4"><b><i>"</i></b></font><font face="Helvetica-BoldOblique" size="4" color="Blue"><b><i>Hello
Room
208....</i></b></font><br /><br /><font face="Helvetica-BoldOblique" size="4" color="Blue"><b><i>Have
you moved? We are eagerly waiting the latest episodes from
208.</i></b></font><br /><br /><font face="Helvetica-BoldOblique" size="4" color="Blue"><b><i>Maria"</i></b></font><br /><br /><br /><font face="Helvetica" size="4">Apologies
to Maria and all who have been wondering: I've been trying to get this note up
for weeks. Some rather big changes have happened since last June.
</font><br /><br /><font face="Helvetica" size="4">First... Room 208 is now
</font><font face="Helvetica-Bold" size="4"><b>Room
209</b></font><font face="Helvetica" size="4"> (the scholars have moved next
door).</font><br /><br /><font face="Helvetica" size="4">Second...
</font><font face="ArialMT" size="4">The biggest change is that I have made the
transition out of the 3/4 Multi-Age classroom and into the computer lab, as
Technology Integrator. This is a bitter/sweet change: exciting and challenging,
but not without some sorrow, as I leave my class behind in Room 208 (now
209).</font><br /></div>
<div><font face="ArialMT" size="4">I will be replacing my good friend, <a
href="http://www.cheryloakes.com/">Cheryl Oakes</a>, as she moves on to
her new exciting position as District Technology Coordinator.</font></div>
<div><font face="ArialMT" size="4">I am excited about taking that next step in
integrating technology into the classroom, and expanding my learning.
</font></div>
<div><font face="ArialMT" size="4">Beth Bush has taken my position in Room
<strike>208</strike> 209 and she and the scholars are off to an amazing start of
the year.</font></div>
<div><font face="ArialMT" size="4">Beth has already expressed interest in
keeping the podcast and blog alive and we will keep you posted on
that!</font></div>
<div><font face="ArialMT" size="4">In the meantime, please explore the
happenings of the Room 208 209 Scholars at the new Wells Elementary site (<a
href="http://www.weskids.com" target="NewWindow">www.weskids.com</a>)
as well as checking out the <a
