Relationships are Key
Since I started on Twitter a month ago, I have found so many wonderful people to add to my PLN. They have posted articles blogs, research and, more importantly, they have been inspiring. Their enthusiasm, their love for learning, their passion and their generosity have been infectious. I have been very fortunate to build veryContinue reading “Relationships are Key”
Everyday Learning
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”
Administrators: What Teachers Want
I attended my first #edchat chat today. It wasn’t even on purpose.

I was energized, excited by, and grateful for all the wonderful, insightful comments madeContinue reading “Administrators: What Teachers Want”

I have also had the opportunity to save the conversation thatContinue reading “RSCon3!”
Go Slow to Go Far
My family and I went out for our evening exercise routine this evening. Our three-year-old isn’t feeling the best right now, so he spent most of his time in the stroller, next to his 6-month-old brother. He’s been feeling under the weather the last couple of days, so he knew he wasn’t going to getContinue reading “Go Slow to Go Far”
Your Words Mean A Lot
I have been personally reflecting on the importance of words and the choice people make to use certain words. More importantly, I’ve been thinking about how imperative it is to do what you say you are going to do. This is important both on a personal level and on a professional level. While I knowContinue reading “Your Words Mean A Lot”
Pinning Your Way to Pro-D
Professional Development is really everywhere and anywhere you want to look! I realized this when a few friends introduced me to Pinterest. This is a website where you have a number of themed virtual bulletin boards that you fill with items from different websites. If you like something, you simply “pin” it to your appropriateContinue reading “Pinning Your Way to Pro-D”
Containing Myself
I am so excited about my new learning. I have read so many articles/blogs, explored different websites and webtools. I know I have a lot more to learn, but I am excited about what I have been learning and finding so far. It’s great to learn new things and find new resources, but, to really makeContinue reading “Containing Myself”
