WARNING: Most of the time spent on this T.A.G. Project will be spent using PowerPoint.
However, this will not be true if you don’t SAVE after EACH step in Windows Movie Maker. Movie Maker will lose your work and you’ll become extremely frustrated. Don’t You Just Love Microsoft?

This is the "Webmaster's" 38th year of teaching and he's probably "Spider Food" by now! 
[A real slow learner (and eternal optimist) - he's still waiting for the 25th year recognition award!]

Summer 2008 - Itasca reworked it's website, which broke a bunch of links on our school website, which broke hundreds of Links
on my Seven websites. I'm still trying to find them all !   Please let me know when you find (another) broken link.
(Substitute "itasca.com/school" at the beginning of the broken URL with "itasca.k12.il.us" if you want to get to that page immediately.)
