As the title of my blog states, I strongly believe that we learn something each and every day. This may be learning about something personally: a hobby, about yourself, or about people you care about. You may also learn things on a more professional perspective. Today I am going to talk about some things IContinue reading “Everyday Learning”

Thanks, Leadership Day 2011
Leadership Day 2011 has become very inspiring! So far, there are 76 blog posts listed that talk about Technology and Leadership in one way or another. I have read a few, but look forward to read many, many more. One blog post that I read tonight really spoke to what I wrote in my ownContinue reading “Thanks, Leadership Day 2011”
Being a Tech-Change Agent
Scott McLeod of bigthink: Dangerously Irrelevant has put out a challenge for the past 4 years in an effort to educate our fellow administrators in the area of digital technologies. He is calling on all educational bloggers to post a blog on August 5th, 2011 (Leadership Day 2011) – that is related to the implementationContinue reading “Being a Tech-Change Agent”
Celebration of Light
I thought I would post something different today, something related to a passion of mine: photography. While I have always enjoyed taking photos, my love for photography grew even more when I purchased my first dSLR camera in May, 2008 (a Nikon d40X). I loved this little camera! Last year, I decided to purchase aContinue reading “Celebration of Light”
Administrators: What Teachers Want
I attended my first #edchat chat today. It wasn’t even on purpose. I just happened to be at the computer, on Twitter, when the chat started before my eyes, just after I asked what time the chat was scheduled to begin. I was energized, excited by, and grateful for all the wonderful, insightful comments madeContinue reading “Administrators: What Teachers Want”
Differentiated Instruction or Personalized/Customized Learning – That is the Question
I attended John T. Spencer‘s session entitled, Customized Learning, at the Reform Symposium on the weekend. It is quite amazing how inspiring a person can be in 30 minutes! But, he was, just that, inspiring. He talked about “empowering the students to take ownership over their own learning.” I discussed his session in a previousContinue reading “Differentiated Instruction or Personalized/Customized Learning – That is the Question”
On Becoming a Teacher/Administrator 2.0
Over the next few days/weeks, I will be blogging about some of the Reform Symposium. I will write about some of the talks, keynotes, and panel discussions. It was truly a wonderful experience and I am hoping to get some of my thoughts down about some of what I saw/heard. I will include some ofContinue reading “On Becoming a Teacher/Administrator 2.0”
Inspirational
If I were to use one word to describe my experience with the Reform Symposium – RSCON3 (so far, there are still a couple of sessions left), it would be Inspirational! The presentations/keynotes/panel discussions which I was able to attend were absolutely amazing! I only wish I could have attended more. One of the bestContinue reading “Inspirational”
RSCon3!
What a great experience it has been so far with the Reform Symposium! While it is difficult to attend a lot of sessions with my three kids, but it has been great to be able to have the sessions going on in the background. I have also had the opportunity to save the conversation thatContinue reading “RSCon3!”
Deposits and Withdrawls
My last post talked about the importance of building relationships and taking time need to really set things up before moving forward. It is this time and care that will enhance learning, achievement, and allow change to occur. Without this time and care, change could be faced with animosity and dissention and, will likely notContinue reading “Deposits and Withdrawls”
