From the very beginning when I was shown Twitter at the NYSCATE conference out in Rochester, NY this past November, I had this problem, of “Who do I decide to follow?”. I had never seen Twitter and had a hard time wrapping my mind around it. I just thought I’d get all these [...]
Rick Weinberg let me stay and work with some 4th graders from GVCS today. The students have been working on this project the majority of the year, and Rick has been in from time to time to help them work with some of their information. These students came today with photos, video and audio about the Seneca Indians and [...]
Here are a few sites that I’ve stumbledupon lately…..did you get it? Stumbledupon????
I have to remember, that I’m not as funny as I think I am. Anyways, let’s go through a list and short description and see if anything follows from it.

Having been new to this job (still under a year anyways) and having to learn a TON of stuff, the one thing that caught my eye was at my first conference in November (NYSCATE). One of the presenters there (Carol LaRow) was a Google Certified Teacher. I remember asking her afterwards how you obtain that [...]
Sitting in my office after the long weekend and a morning meeting that helped me get refocused on our Tech offerings for next year. At CA BOCES (Professional Development), we offer Tech Connect trainings to area schools in Cattaraugus & Allegany Counties in Western New York. Schools who did not participate in [...]

He has again posted the Father’s Day podcasts with 1st graders and let the Twitterverse know. I have tried to comment on a [...]
I have had the opportunity to meet Zemote (Jeff O’Hara) on-line…..actually in Twitter after Steve Dembo’s blog post about the new on-line site Jeff (I’m going to have to call him Zemote from here on in) is creating with Nic Borg called Edmodo. I originally heard that it was going to be an educational Twitter! However, [...]
Good closing for this year’s WNY-PLP in West Seneca by Will Richardson and Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach. Throughout this process I don’t know what others have learned (even my own district), but I know I did learn quite a few things. I started to build my network, and I think that especially early on, it gave me [...]
Did I blog before? SURE…..well, I used to post things for my math students, and have them leave comments, but the more I think back about it….it was mostly extra credit, wasn’t it?
I have had a few blogs on Blooger, but after a short hiatus on this blog, I’ve tried to get back on track…..then [...]
