Kinda cool to think that alot of this technology tools and ideas we are integrating may be planting the seeds of these skills in our student -- future citizens!

How about a little humor to start your day? During a recent password audit, it was found that a blonde was using the following password:

 "MickeyMinniePlutoHueyLouieDeweyDonaldGoofySacramento"

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;"> When asked why she had such a long password, she said she was told that it had to be at least 8 characters long and include at least one capital.
