I think I have the draft of workshops/presentations I'm offering finished . . . at least for now. I've also created a public Google Map so that schools can see where I'll be and invite me to add them to my schedule while I'm in the area. So far, this is how my map looks.
It's exciting to see the calendar start to fill up. I'm glad, though, that I have a few more weeks to work on my presentations. So far, the majority of invitations are to come talk about the election. I've been reading memoirs by both McCain and Obama--and looking at YouTube video about them as well. Thanks to the Apple store in Fresno, I know how to use Keynote. Thanks to Andre, I now know how to embed a video clip in a Keynote presentation. And thanks to Jen I know how to download video. By the end of this experience, I'll be a pro in these kinds of presentations.
Monday I'll go to Lorenskog to observe my new friend Hilde teach English. I met her at the reception the other night, and she graciously agreed to allow me to visit her class. I really want to see what students and schools are like here before I start presenting.

Google maps?
embedding video clips?
Geez...I'm still trying to figure out why you can't hear me on skype! I finally start a blog and join facebook but my learning curve is HUGE.
I checked out your lecture series and I wish I could attend each one of them.
You sound like you're getting along very well---meeting people, getting out everyday, and I hear NO complaints about the cool weather. Good thing...because we're going to be at 102 today, 104 tomorrow, and 106 Friday. Just want to make sure you aren't missing the heat in Fresno.
