I’m not a huge fan of Star Wars. I saw it when I was a kid, but never jumped on the obsessive bandwagon. I do enjoy Yoda though. He The writers have an ability to make you think inside yourself; especially, Luke Skywalker.
I’m going to unmercifully copy from the wonderful blogger at [...]
The shaking earth you feel is the entire state of North Carolina sneezing. It is pollen season and everyone here is sniffling. Living in the Ohio Valley my entire life, I know about allergies and asthma, but I’ve never seen pollen accumulating as it does here.
It’s not unusual to have almost a 1/2 [...]
We don’t have enough of these super Saturdays do we? All is right in the world. The weather here in North Carolina is absolutely beautiful! In the low 80’s an no humidity.
Hubby is off to Greensboro to coach his AWANA team, so I have the house all to myself, except for the [...]
Ok, we had “the discussion” this afternoon. The conversation of what should/should not be included in acceptable use policy. Also, what websites we thought were appropriate. Of course, YouTube was at the top of the list.
I understand that allowing student’s free reign to YouTube probably isn’t a good idea, but I also [...]
I previously posted my notes from the NCAECT Conference on my blog (see previous entries), but I want to leave the links if anyone is interested in reading. Remember, my head goes faster than my fingers or is it my fingers go faster than my head. Whichever one it is, there are typos [...]
I found a quote today that I really do like a lot. I wanted to see what everyone else thought.
I come from the Batman era, adding items to my utility belt while students today are the Borg from Star Trek, assimilating technology into their lives.
Secondly, I don’t have to keep up, just keep [...]
Great thinking post from Kimberly Moritz at the Leader Talk blog. She addresses frustrations and the blues that many teachers seem to get about this time of year. I know it always hit me hard about this time. Maybe it had something to do with the short days and lack of sunlight, [...]
Another great day, but I’m beginning to get a bit tired. My old bones aren’t used to getting up at 5:30 when I didn’t go to sleep until at least 2. Maybe 20 years ago, but a bit over 40 and I can’t run with the big dogs.
Today, I was able to sit [...]
I didn’t think it would be possible to have a better day than the one with Will Richardson, but this might have been close. I don’t think I went to any bad sessions. Great sessions on being an leader in the technology community, audio booktalk, best of web 2007, podcasting, thinking differently and [...]
I am at a loss for words. I have had over 1000 “hits” to my blog since I began blogging in November. I am totally speechless and appreciative that there is someone out there that is interested in what I have to say.
So, from the bottom of my cyber-heart, thank you for showing an interest [...]
WOW! I don’t even know where to begin! I was fortunate enough to participate in Will Richardson’s pre-conference workshop “Blogs, Wikis, and Podcasting”. WOW! I’m still dumbstruck.
Will did a fantastic job explaining many of the new web2.0 tools, but how do you hold your presentation to 6 hours with soooo much [...]
I must be living right. We found out this week that we do get to see Will Richardson at the NCAETC conference next week. Will Richardson and I will be breathing the same air - woohoo! Maybe some of his genius will rub off on me. I can’t wait to hear what he has to [...]
We’ve all done it. Said something that we surely did not mean to say to our classes. My ever occurring flub was sheet of paper. Except, I didn’t say sheet. I’m not one to curse, but for some reason I seemed to misspeak when it came to telling my kids to [...]
