"I wanted something very, very simple that delivered great results in 60 seconds of prep time or less. It may take you a few tries to get below the one-minute mark, but I think you'll enjoy the results every time! For your ciabatta you'll need: 4 cups of all-purpose flour (do NOT pack the flour into the measuring cup) 2 cups of warm water 1 teaspoon of salt 1/4 teaspoon of granulated yeast (or equivalent) For the gorgeous readers needing metric equivalents of this recipe, Toon left a comment with the following conversion: 500 grams of all-purpose flour 4,7 deciliter of warm water 4 grams of salt (= 1 teaspoon = 5 ml) 1 gram of dry yeast (= 1/4 teaspoon = 1,25 ml) You'll also need a medium-size mixing bowl, a 10×15 cookie sheet or baking stone, a hand towel or plastic wrap, and whatever you'd like to keep your bread from sticking (if you're using a pan, I use flour and corn meal). Have everything handy? Good. Let's do this! 1. Mix Water & Yeast Pour the warm water into the medium-size mixing bowl and stir in the yeast with a spoon. No need to be particular, just dump and slosh. 2. Add Flour And Salt Add flour and salt to your bowl of yeasty water. This, after measuring out the flour, presents another prime opportunity to get flour on your person. This will be regarded by many as a sign of your culinary determination. You'll need such signs because anybody who actually watches you make the bread will think you're one of the laziest bakers in existence. 3. Stir Into A Heavy Batter Use a spoon. You could use your hands if you wanted but you probably didn't wash your hands before starting this anyhow. Start with a quick run about around the perimeter of the bowl with your spoon. A few quick strokes through the middle and you should have a heavy batter. If it looks too thick to be pancake batter and not thick enough to be playdough, you're right on target. 4. Set It And Nearly Forget It Cover your project

This is quick and yummy, and one cannot live on ICT alone!

Some great ideas about how to mange learning in a 1:1 class

ur iPad pilot teachers and I are using this blog to allow you to have a glimpse into our 1:1 iPad pilot classrooms. We've shared practical posts, describing specific teaching and learning experiences as well as what we're learning along the way.

Today, I had the privilege of teaching a high school staff about tech tools that I have used in my iPad filled classroom. Next year, the high school students will be using an iPad on a daily basis. The iPad will be theirs to use during the school year. This school did the correct thing by getting the iPads into the hands of the teachers well before they are asked to lead students with them. Teachers have had the iPads for about 2 months. The presentation that I used is below. Highlights are listed below the presentation.

"Chapter 1: What is Energy? Gas pump in car. Energy causes things to happen around us. Look out the window. The sun radiates light and heat energy. It helps plants to grow. At night, lamps in our home use electrical energy to light our rooms. When a car drives by, it is being powered by gasoline, a type of stored energy. The food we eat contains energy. We use that energy to work and play. We learned the definition of energy in the introduction:"
