Received this ecard

Din occur to me that there is such a thing called National Teacher Appreciation Week (1st May – 7th May). Quite a pleasant surprise to receive this ecard from an ex-student (丽琳)：

作为老师希望学生能够考得好成绩是不言而喻的，因为此成绩是将来的”本钱”，是属于学生自己的。但！分数不是一切，能有多几个A固然好，少几个也不是世界末日，正是”天生我材必有用”，给自己多一些时间和空间，去探索念书以外自己的长处，并把它发挥出来，为社会尽自己的一份力，放一份光。错误谁都会犯的，分别只在于一个人是否从中学习，还是置之不理；只要保有求进步的心，不断更新自己，还怕改正不过来吗？ 🙂

9th Edublog Workshop for Voila! Schools

Wow! This afternoon at Ai Tong School, we have a lab full of excited students led by their teachers. This is the first edublog workshop where teachers and students are blogging happily away together. Everyone had created a Blogger.com blog, and they were given a demo on how to upload pictures using Hello! and how to create a group blog.
If only we have more time, I would have been able to show them how to use the MS Image Resizer Powertoy to reduce BIG picture files into _small_ files that would be perfect for their blogs.
The slides used for the day is here.

More on colors – 4096 Color Wheel 2.1

The previous post gives you the theory, this website gives you immediate visual. Try moving the mouse over the color wheel and see the hexadecimal representation change. The colors are given web-safe, web-smart, unsafe classification. ANd there are keyboard shortcuts to change the hue (use the j,k,l keys)
The author has kindly allowed the codes to be freely used. I have kept an archive here for future reference.
