I have 30 minutes before I leave for the airport and head back to Seattle for what’s left of my summer vacation. As I reflect on this years ISTE conference a couple things come to mind. WiFi:A HUGE shout out to the organizers and the Convention Center. By far this has been the best WiFi access at any ISTE conference […]
“I want my student to be found, he already has 3,000 hits on Google.” How many people are uploading pictures of their babies the day they are born? First and Last name with Birth Day. 84 Billion Dollars spend on a filter in Australia cracked in 30 minutes by a 16 year old. Over 50% of schools in the US […]
The two best sessions for me at Edubloggercon today at ISTE2010 ended up talking about Networks and teaching how to use networks with students. For lack of a better term we called it “Networked Literacy” I first started thinking about this back in August after reading Writing in the 21st Century by Kathleen Yancey (worth your time). Based on that […]
ISTE 2010 Conference here in Denver is starting off on a positive note for me. Today was the EduBloggerCon, and as usual we had some great discussions around the future of tools and learning.

Update: As of October 2010 AT&T has a new Pre-Paid Plan that works with iPhones OS4.1 OK….so I’ve done my research over two years now and I think I’ve finally found the simplest and cheapest way to get your Unlocked iPhone to work in the USA when you are visiting. All you need is an AT&T friend! 1. Find a […]
The 2009-2010 school year ended for me early today and I’m just wrapping up a few loose ends before I head into vacation mode for the summer. I did want to release the Free PDF of the Web-Based Portfolio series I’ve been working on for the past couple of months. I’ve taken the four blog posts and put them into […]
Honestly….I can’t believe I’m writing this blog post. My 4th grade teacher would be so proud of me right now (I might have to look her up and send her a copy). Many readers to this blog who have been following me for more than a year probably realized that I’ve not blogged as much this year. That it seems […]
