Here are some theme ideas:
Document something you do in your job that others would have to know if you won the lottery and had to leave work for a life of luxury.
Create a page about a hobby or passion.
Plan a lesson plan and link to useful  sites, sources and support.
Collaborate with another staff member  to make a wiki together.
Make a page linking to sites you visit often for the 32Things and add to it in the next few weeks (eg. 32 Things blog, your own blog, other participant blogs you read).
