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, [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
From the very beginning when I was shown Twitter at the NYSCATE conference out in Rochester, NY this past November, I had this problem, of “Who do I decide to follow?”. I had never seen Twitter and had a hard time wrapping my mind around it. I just thought I’d get all these [...]
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, [...]
I’ve been wanting to write about this for awhile, however, my main problem……I DON’T HAVE ENOUGH TIME! How do you find balance? A topic I heard a great deal about when I was first hired at BOCES for this Technology Staff Specialist position.
I have been painting my daughter’s room, looking at Twitter (I may have [...]
Helped (very slightly) with the Technology Integrators Forum out at STW in Salamanca today for a collaborative effort between WNYRIC and our CABOCES. Mansell Wells initiated the idea and set up the wiki here. It was very enlightening and I thought went well. There were a few administrators in and out throughout the day, and [...]
