The athletic director was very impressed but had to ask the question, "But how is he scholastically?" The scout replied, "He makes straight 'A's in every subject.

Download of the Week- PC Download: *Oil Painting Assistant* "Helps you paint oil paintings on canvas from digital images from a scanner, digital camera, or the web. You load in a digital image, crop it to fit your canvas, and adjust coloration to suit your tastes. OPA applies a grid to the image to help you more accurately sketch on your canvas. It then displays an analysis of the image, showing what paints would be useful for the painting’s base coat, and the image's color space so you know if you need different paints. The analysis and grid-overlaid image can be displayed on your monitor while you paint, or printed on a color printer." ------------------------------------------------------------- Mac Download: *Orbitals* Orbitals is completely real-time and interactive. It runs at 35 frames per second even on a standard iMac, and provides high graphics quality. Users can directly interact with the object they are watching. This means real-time mouse-rotating, changing quantum numbers, zoom and more. With all this features, Orbitals is still very easy to use. ------------------------------------------------------------- Click Below, To Download These Applications & Others For FREE: http://www.teach-nology.com/downloads/ ============================================================= 7. *** FREE Stuff For Teachers! *** FREE Roundtrip Airline Ticket when you become a home-based travel agent.

"Our Latest Idea That Worked!" "How Many Marbles?" By: Terry Silvestri: Tara, Grade 2 Teacher: Lexington, KY "I always start the first day off with my half day marble activity. I put a jar of over 100 marbles in front of the class and ask them to guess how many marbles are in the jar. After they guess, we ask them to write a short description of why they think there is that many marbles. The student who comes closest, I usually give a prize to." ============================================================= Teachnology, Inc. makes no warranties, either expressed or implied, about the truth or accuracy of the content of the TeAch-nology.com newsletter. ============================================================= If you are interested in sponsoring this newsletter place your order online at: http://www.teach-nology.com/advertising/ ============================================================= © 2001 Teachnology, Inc.
