OK, so this might be off the topic of education. However, in addition to teaching, I love interior decorating - so I'm blogging about something I spotted on ReadWrite.com! How many people out there get frustrated with those cords, outlets and being afraid to push a heave dresser up against cord that's plugged into a wall? Well, I'm one of those people. These recessed outlets that Janet Hall writes about in her blog "Recessed Outlets: A Great Way to Hide Messy Gadget Cords." You just have to see the photos to understand how great this is! Click on the link below. Also, now that I think about it - these would be awesome in my classroom. I have so many gadgets, cameras, battery chargers, computers, projects and such plugged in here and there. The outlets would really help to tidy things up and actually add space (since I'm afraid of pushing furniture up against plugs and all!). However, as much as I'd love to have them in school, I'm very sure it would never be in our budget. After all, it is a little over the top of a school! However, I'll have to think about it the next time we redo a room in my home. :)

Thanks for sharing this! Since starting teaching 5 years ago, I've gain many technologies in my classroom. The plugs are everywhere!! There has to be a way to keep it all organized.
