One of my main goals many months ago was to become an “expert” on Google Tools and maybe even apply to go to the Google Teacher Academy (GTA)……however, I have not been as good on that goal as I would like to have been. My realization was the workshop Rick Weinberg put on today for [...]

I do love this site. You are able to upload pictures, video or even a worksheet, then once you create a free account (by the way, educators get a free Pro account! Saves you $60!!!) you can leave a comment next to the picture (I will call what you upload a picture from here on [...]
Been gone for a long time…..maybe I can be like Edublogs/Twitter…..where is my floating elephant?
Not 100% sure that Edublogs is up and running. I hope to blog more in the next few weeks.

Last week I was thinking about, “What are the top 3 things I’ve learned or used this summer?”
I’m excited about the new school year and getting in to help teachers with technology, but I thought I’d try to rank the top three things that I could think of.
#1. Phonevite
I’m trying to talk my wife into using [...]
Like I’ve said many times, I’ve been very blessed, and this job, working for CA BOCES is one of them. This summer I’ve been able to just go “hog wild” exploring sites, trying different things and looking to find things to use in the classroom. I’ve been to NECC, Albany, NY for a DATAG workshop, [...]
As a high school math teacher in a previous life before taking this job in professional development with CA BOCES I always valued the importance of gathering data. Then, I enjoyed trying to make inferences from it, and look for possible sources of error or reasons why it might be skewed. My wife would tell [...]
Quick thoughts on some sites I’ve found this week and at the very least have interested me….
Phonevite is looking great to me. I first thought you may only get 25 calls total for free. However, after two e-mails to Phonevite I found out that you can send up to 25 people at a time a [...]
Sometimes I don’t truly realize how fortunate I am with this job. We here at CA BOCES had the opportunity to have Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach out here to lead our administrators on Monday and then our teachers for next four days! I will unfortunately miss Friday’s session because of a wedding, but I would [...]
Just trying to formulate thoughts on the “oversaturation” of the web. How many new sites can possibly come out? I can’t keep track of what I even looked at last week! .com, .net, .fm, is there a .carls somewhere???
How many times have you had someone say, “Check out this link“, then after clicking [...]
My first summer tech camp and I couldn’t have been happier with the teachers and admin help we received at Franklinville the past 3 days. Day 1 was showing projector integration resources and help. Our wiki was just something I threw together quick in the afternoon to give them links. One thing [...]
