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 [...]
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 [...]
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, [...]

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 [...]
