And special Christmas wishes to Jenny Chapman, the hard working and ever helpful  Business Editor of the Cambridge Evening News, Cambridge, UK.  Thanks for including some of my writings and hope for more in 2010.

Fred Wilson of www.avc.com helped raise funds for a good cause and the teacher sent the letter below.  There are more details and pictures at the Donors Choose Site. It seems a good way to sign off the year and hope Zemanta will pull out a great picture of Father Christmas or Santa Claus for those from the other side of the pond.

Dear Philip,

Thank you so much for believing in this project and believing in me. I am so incredibly excited to have the chance to use our new media projector to make the world come alive for my students.

The tools you have funded with spark my students’ interests and allow a higher level of learning to occur in class. I will be able to show pictures and video in a way that everyone will be able to see. Connections between the lives of my students and the way the world works will be clearer than ever before. We will be able to truly travel anywhere in the world.

Thank you so much. I can’t wait to introduce this tool in the classroom!With gratitude,
Ms. G.
