October is here!~

I can't believe October starts tomorrow. I understand why educators postulate about the short school year! I don't have enough time to complete the training for teachers and that's hard enough. I have come across some interesting web2.0 tools and will create a post in the very near future.
The Actem conference is in October...so stay tuned ...webhead stuff is coming our way!

Blogging Workshop

Today I am holding a District Blogging Workshop. My goal is to motivate teachers to use classroom blogging as a form of collaboration between students, parents and teachers. I feel it's a solution to extent the school day and such a simple tool to learn to use.

I just learned there will be a scheduled outage for upgrades on blogger starting at 4pm....so I am hoping they get here on time and are ready to create!!!

Back at it

The NECC experience was overwhelming indeed and I had little time to do anything that wasn't already listed on my itinerary, much less Blog about it. I look forward to getting back into my virtual learning space when school starts and using new tools in the classroom.

Social Networking was all the buzz at NECC. Soooooooo
Just for the record I started a facebook page to experience the social network buzz and I am now addicted. The actual possiblity of reconnecting with my old friends was a little intimidating at first, but after 3 days I have reconnected with 14 old friends!! What fun ;) It is really fun to author, connect and collaborate with people in an easy manner. I am now plugged in 24 hrs a day due to the addiction. Wish there were more hours in a day!!!
