This week members of my program cohort completed a Communication Styles Inventory. I’m generally pretty wary of these types of surveys – I mean it was only 10 questions. Anyway, based on the questions (which, in many cases, had two very good choices), I was found to be a sensor. Some [...]

I’m home for the summer! This is the first year that I managed to keep my first week off from school completely unscheduled. It’s also the earliest that the kids stopped attending day care for the summer. We’ve enjoyed our first week together and as usual, I have a renewed appreciation for all the stay [...]

Recently, I attended a one day workshop with Stephen Barkley from PLS. As a technology coach, it was odd at first to find myself in a room full of non-tech type people. There were literacy coaches, math coaches, and administrators in attendance. In the end, I found the day to be enjoyable and super informative. [...]

I learned plenty about shifting practice in teaching, but most importantly (for me) I learned a lot about myself and how I learn.
I [...]

What a great experience! I had the chance to work collaboratively with three other folks across the state of Pennsylvania to host a breakout session on using Google tools. We planned the session using Google Docs and used Skype to conference call about the actual agenda and running of the session.
Well, the session was today [...]

The Introducing the Book Video is always a fun one to watch. I spend most of my time at work in a similar situation – assisting others with learning about something that seems foreign to them. I saw that Linda also enjoyed it:) At this [...]

One more time, this is my first time at NECC! One of the things that is very different from my state educational technology conference is the size of the exhibit floor. It is immense and the displays are the size of small stores that I might find in my hometown. Clarence Fisher, over at Remote [...]

With NECC quickly approaching, I’ve been working to design my conference experience using the conference planner. After talking to folks that have attended in the past, I added all the concurrent sessions I have an interest in and will decide which to attend once I’m there. The problem is that I want to attend [...]
