So, here we are the end of September already. I can not believe how quickly this month has gone. It has been so busy though, so it’s not surprising it has gone so fast. I have spent a great deal of my time working with the Three C’s – Collaboration, Consultation, and Communication. Each oneContinue reading “The Importance of the Three C’s”

It’s All Coming Together
It has been almost 2 weeks since writing in my blog. I went from writing in my blog about my learning every day to writing twice in the last month! It’s not that I haven’t been learning, because I definitely have! It’s all about time and balance. I’ve been so busy with work (and myContinue reading “It’s All Coming Together”
Opportunities Abound
I have had my first week at my new school, filled with students, teachers, support staff, and parents. It was a very busy week, full of drama and excitement. I put in some very long hours this week and I don’t think I even sat down for more than 20 minutes the entire week. IContinue reading “Opportunities Abound”
To Teach Analog Or Not… That is the Question

Part of the professional development session, which is planned by teachers, focused on Math curriculum and how it is aligned and sequenced with respect toContinue reading “To Teach Analog Or Not… That is the Question”

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”

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”
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”
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”
