The Teen Angels program that we joined was a great experience. <BR/>Hope you have a great week, too.<BR/>-AndreaAndreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10630103304646424890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6164400845780458490.post-60774411612725160942008-05-20T22:34:00.000-04:002008-05-20T22:34:00.000-04:00Christophe,I did set the firefox prefs to open pag...Christophe,<BR/>I did set the firefox prefs to open pages in a new window. However, whenever I re-open ff there are 5 tabs that keep returning EVERY single time, no matter how many times I close them, restart, etc. these tabs will not go away. I find it really annoying and is making me not want to use ff even though it really is more usable than safari.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10630103304646424890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6164400845780458490.post-45507363721457784912008-05-20T10:59:00.000-04:002008-05-20T10:59:00.000-04:00Hi,Well, the fact that you prefer Safari over Fire...Hi,<BR/><BR/>Well, the fact that you prefer Safari over Firefox is not something we can influence I guess ;-)<BR/>However, you do not have to use tabbed browsing in Firefox: there is an option to open new pages in a new window, instead of a new tab.

Cocomment works in firefox, not safari, but I find that I prefer using safari over firefox because I don't liked the tabbed browsing in ff and can't seem to get rid of it.

It should be a mantra because it allows us- teachers and students- to take risks and learn from mistakes.<BR/><BR/>I love the idea of having older students lead lessons on internet safety. Students get weary listening to the same adult faces- it benefits both the older and younger students. We also need to rewrite our acceptable use policy- with the changes in technology and read/write web it should be updated every year. When we do that, I'll remember to block out consequences as well. <BR/>I hope you have another great week!nancyvonwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06673106398130021297noreply@blogger.com
