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 [...]
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.

I’m trying to talk my wife into using [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Trying to work my way around Lively, Google’s new MUVE release. Since I’ve had little time to play, I’m hoping for help. Since I couldn’t get my name, or mcarls, I had to go with my third option of Dukefan12.
I even tried to start Plurkville as a place to meet for educators on Plurk, but [...]
Now that I’m back to work and survived the holiday weekend I’m trying to get back in the swing of things. Here is what’s on tap:
Wednesday, leave for DATAG conference in Albany, NY. I found out to be careful Googling this one, there is another site NOT quite committed to DATA!?!? This workshop should be [...]
I used to always tell my math students before taking one of my tests to grab as many jacks as you can. That, and of course to use good “Mathish”. The reason I say that about the jacks is because I would say that I’m throwing 45 jacks on the ground. Pick up as many [...]
