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, [...]
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 [...]
Having been new to this job (still under a year anyways) and having to learn a TON of stuff, the one thing that caught my eye was at my first conference in November (NYSCATE). One of the presenters there (Carol LaRow) was a Google Certified Teacher. I remember asking her afterwards how you obtain that [...]

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 [...]
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, [...]
Getting ready for our Division Day and using Moodle with other BOCES staff, I tried to whip together a Voicethread and let Thomas make some comments….I know, I know, I need to get new pictures (I use the same ones for everything).
I’m also using Animoto more and more…..Man, those guys are nice. They are starting [...]
Glad to be down with NYS Math 7 and 8 grading! Teachers are very good around here about getting that done and helping each other, so it went well, and I was am fortunate to have great teachers in Cattaraugus and Allegany County. Oh yeah, lay off the Duke comments…..I know they’re out. 2009 is [...]
