8 Random Things…

8 Random Things…

I’ve been tagged a couple of times now for the 8 Random Things meme that’s been going around. Guess that means I better put them up and tag some others. 1. After 5 years of not owning a car…we bought one this summer. 2. The 6 weeks that was my summer I never spent more than 5 nights in the […]

IETP Form Share and Share a like

IETP Form Share and Share a like

A couple people have asked for the IETP we created for our teachers. I love it when I actually create something that I can share back to the community that gives me so much.

Getting my ducks in a row

Getting my ducks in a row

Thank you to everyone who commented and read my last post…the comments meant a lot to me (they always do) I guess that’s part of the reason why we all blog…that feeling we’re not alone. That we’re not insane in thinking the way we think…feel the way we feel. I still remember reading Warlick for the first time and saying […]

It’s been good though…spent 3 days in San Diego visiting my sister-in-law and time with family and friends over the other days has made it worth being disconnected. The time I have been online has been focused on the graduate course I’m teaching for Plymouth State University. The […]

So Yesterday I get done writing about how society and our use of networks and technology is why school need to change and headed out to do some shopping and get some pictures printed off for family and friends. We’ve been living overseas now for 5 (going on 6) years. Every summer when we return on holiday we find that […]

Pedagogy defines School 2.0 (revisited)

I was reading Will’s post today It’s Not Just the “Read/Write” Web and then thanks to twitter John Pederson’s post on Networks (I think that’s what it’s on anyway). As I read I started thinking about a post I did back in January on defining School 2.0. Not sure if it’s OK to quote yourself but back then I wrote: […]

My aggregator of choice

Pat Kennedy left a comment yesterday on the RSS in Plain English post. Which aggregator is conducive to a classroom environment Bloglines or Google Reader? Organizing feeds by disciplines is important to me. Are they advertisement free?

I’ve been back from NECC for a couple of days and back into the Mariners having gone to their last two games of the home stand the last couple of days.
