I was going to start off the day at the Hyatt about integrating technology into the curriculum, but the presenter never showed (they didn’t show for Rick Weinberg’s either). I then headed over to HGCC 103A to hear David Jakes and Dean Shareski’s presentation for 11:00 on using PowerPoint. It gave me a chance to [...]
Survived the 2 hour delay at Dulles on the plane and am in my room after a LONG day. Not much to say, except that this was a little much. The Convention Center was HUGE, many people. Did sit through the keynote and tried to stop by the Blogger’s Cafe to see who I could [...]
First of all, I have loved Twitter for various reasons:
1. My “springboard” for learning. I follow many educational and tech people. They send out great links (usually), and I learn from there.
2. My network. I’ve just started to connect with people that I’ve NEVER MET! [...]
Looking forward to my first National Conference. I was trying to find a good way to use a Voicethread together so people could respond to the schedule and talk about what workshops/seminars they were going to. Then I realized that will be difficult with the INCREDIBLE number of things being offered. How [...]
Need to get back in the swing of this blog. Paperwork, paperwork. Need to find more time, somehow.
Survived a morning workshop with teachers thanks to fellow colleague (@tclarkeee). Nothing bad, but it is hard when it is the last week for teachers, the sun is shining and some of them are thinking of finishing up [...]
About a month ago I attended a short hour training by Penny Williams about Stephen Covey’s Seven Habits. I was rejuvinated to pursue the Seven Habits, since I read it a long time ago, but have let it all go. Since it was only an hour brief overview she could not get into much, but did [...]

GRRRRR…..

I’m sure I’m not alone and am not sure where this post will go, but last week I remember trying to figure out Copyright rules for educators. I wanted to see about using popular music for students in a MovieMaker project?!?!? I figured NO WAY, but I tried to look into it. On Twitter, [...]
Jane Lincoln: A colleague, mentor and friend
This blog post is about a former colleague of mine from Chautauqua Lake High School who helped shape my career in my first years teaching. Her name was Jane Lincoln and today (Wed. June 4th, 2008), marks the 5 year anniversary of her passing. I am not [...]
Well, anyone who knows me, knows I was floored with Voicethread.com from the first moment I saw it. Almost as much as Twitter!
Rick Weinberg showed Voicethread to a Tech Connect group he was working with back in December, and I couldn’t join and upload photos fast enough! [...]
