What I Did Over My Winter Break and How Technology Saved the Day

This past winter break, my family and I were privileged to host a very special guest from El Paso, Texas. Gingie, the Gingerbread Man, is a special friend of my friend’s son, Zophie. Zophie asked if Gingie could visit us and come with us on our family vacation. Our job was to keep Gingie safe, take pictures of his experience, and send Gingie home to El Paso with some great memories. By the beginning of the New Year, we accomplished all of our tasks, except sending Gingie back with the pictures…and school was about to begin. Knowing that I almost never visit a post office, I quickly put my tech skills to use and created a Powerpoint story of Gingie’s adventures, using Slide Share to share the story with Zophie and his first grade class. It’s a good thing I did’t wait, Gingie didn’t make it back to El Paso until the middle of March, traveling back in the suite case of a mutual friend!
