Tech Teaching 101:

A Hands-on Workshop for Integrating Technology

into Your Pedagogy

Saturday, October 11th, 2008

8:30 a.m. - 2:30 p.m.

Sponsored by IUP's Reflective Practice Project
 

It's always darkest before the dawn.

Alas, Packers management traded away the greatest quarterback of all time.

Here's hoping Brett Favre gets one more chance to make it to the Super Bowl,

even if it has to be as a New York Jet.

Still, though it may be a dark hour for Green Bay fans,

at least solace can be found in the cinematic masterpiece

which is the new Batman film.
 

The Dark Knight is on its way to becoming the #1 box office film of all time.
I urge you to see the movie to help push Titanic out of the championship spot.

Will he be back?

You have to believe Brett Favre
did not really want to retire,
or he would not have turned down a $20 million offer
from the Green Bay Packers to stay out to pasture.

The Greatest is Gone!

Brett Favre has officially announced his retirement
after a 17 year career. In that career, Brett became
the NFL's only 3 time MVP,
broke virtually every major quarterback record,
won Super Bowl XXXI,
and started 275 consecutive games as a Green Bay Packer.

More important than statistics, though,
Brett was a guy who just seemed to love the game,
to play like a kid in the backyard.
He seemed like one of us.

Thanks for all the great memories Brett!

Yes, Dr. Pagnucci is officially in mourning,
at least until kickoff day!

Packers almost reach Super Bowl!

Well, Green Bay came close to the championship this year.
And luckily, the Packers are the youngest team in football,
so there's still hope they can make it to the Super Bowl next year.
(Best of all, they went 13-3 this seaon without having to cheat,
which is more than can be said for some so called "perfect" teams.)

Favre's Fantastic Feats

The best thing about this year's NFL season was watching
Brett Favre prove he is the

Greatest Quarterback of All Time

Packers pull to 10-2!
(Yes, the stinking Cowboys won, but the Packers only had half their defense hurt!)

Steelers pull to 9-3!
(Can they beat the Patriots and prove they deserve another shot at the Super Bowl?)

Could we be headed for the greatest
Super Bowl match-up ever?

Favre's Fantastic Feats

Thankfully Brett Favre survived a Dallas cheap shot
and was back the next week to make his 250th consecutive start.

Favre needs less than 400 yards to take
the all-time passing yards title away from Dan Marino.
Is there any question left that Brett is the

Greatest Quarterback of All Time

Packers beat Broncos and Chiefs on the road to reach 7-1!

Steelers Stomp the Ravens to reach 6-2!

Could we be headed for the greatest
Super Bowl match-up ever?

(Keep your fingers crossed that somebody figures out how to stop Tom Brady!)

Favre's Fantastic Feats

Brett Favre finally beat the Kansas City Chiefs,
the only team he had never won against.

Favre has now thrown for over 300 passing yards in 5 games this season, so he is well on pace to take the all-time passing yards title away from Dan Marino.
Is there any question left that Brett is the

Greatest Quarterback of All Time

Packers Start 5-1!
(curse the Bears)

Steelers Start 4-1!
(curse the Cardinals)

Could we be headed for the greatest
Super Bowl match-up ever?

(though Tom Brady and Randy Moss are going to be hard to beat!)

Brett Favre Record Watch

Brett Favre captures the all-time Touch Down Record
(and the all-time interception record, ugh!).

Favre is also on pace to capture the all-time passing yards record
so he can claim the title of:

Greatest Quarterback of All Time

Packers and Steelers Start 3-0!

Could we be headed for the greatest

Super Bowl match-up ever?

Little remembered fact:

Brett Favre's first victory came against which team?

Pittsburgh

Milwaukee Brewers barely in Contention!

Well, there's still a little hope,

but the Brewers seem determined to throw away first place.

Will they ever remember what it feels like to win?

Third Place???

Are you kidding me?

The Brewers spend almost the whole season in 1st,

and now they lose 11 of 14 and drop to 3rd.

Come on, Guys! Keep your eyes on the ball.

Milwaukee Brewers in Contention!

After years and years of futility,

my childhood baseball team,

The Milwaukee Brewers

are finally out of the baseball cellar.

Will history repeat and the Brewers choke yet again?

Or will they finally get back to the World Series?

Stay Tuned!
