"Technology does not necessarily improve education. Take a simple innovation like the pencil: One can use it to write a superlative essay, to drum away the time, or to poke out someone's eye." (Veenema & Gardner, 1996)
I love this quote. A new friend has this on her website (http://laurene@msjohnson.net) and it cracks me up to no end. It's true too.

I have new glasses
I got new glasses this weekend.
I had to get bifocals with the transitional lenses. I guess that I am now officially old.
I think they're cool but I'm still getting used to them.
They kind of look like Moon Martin.
Marilyn says more like Brains from Thunderbirds. I think she's being kind.
