I’ve been at my new school for over a week now – organizing, working on schedules, planning, and participating in professional development, and, most importantly, I’ve been getting to know, and building relationships with people in my new school. In the past week, I’ve started to get to know the principal with whom I willContinue reading “Exciting Times”

My Messages
Here I sit, pondering the first time I will meet my teachers and my students at my new school. While I have met some of the teachers in passing, I have not yet met the students I will be teaching – Grade 5 Health and Career Education and Grade 6 – Physical Education. What isContinue reading “My Messages”
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”
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 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”

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!”
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”
