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 [...]
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 [...]
One thing I’ve always wanted to do, but I’ve never done, was to do the “Christmas in April”, or as it’s known now, “Rebuilding Together“. This is where businesses get employees to dedicate one day (this last Saturday) to help fix up someone’s house in the area. With all the things I’ve tried to do [...]
What an incredible collaboration at High Schools New Face from JMT of the Western New York BOCES. Held at Holiday Valley in Ellicottville, NY. There are way too many people to thank and acknowledge here, but I will talk about our cohort and some of the national presenters.
First of all if you’ve neve been to [...]
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 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 [...]
Trying to work with DimDim to do an online teaching/collaboration, then I remember that we have purchased Adobe Connect Pro (formally Breeze) or all the teachers in our area. How nice is that? Playing with options and plan on showing it off this Friday for my Tech Connect. I have also used Elluminate and you can [...]
