It’s late at night and I’m on my way to bed after a long day but needed to post this. I received two text messages from friends today that simple said “Blogspot is unblocked!“ This is huge! Give it a moment to sink in. Now I can finally read and respond to David Jakes, Vicki Davis and the rest of […]
Ok, so these pictures were taken 72 hours after the original ones (scroll down to see earlier post). Carpet is almost finished. When we did the walk through I counted 16 guys laying carpet. This is the media center looking back towards the center. It shows the height and openness a little better. This is the second part of the […]
eSchool News reported this: As the popularity of social-networking web sites such as MySpace.com and Facebook.com continues to rise, many college campuses have taken to discussing the dangers often associated with these and other sites as a part of their freshman orientation programs. While the sites can be effective vehicles for tech-savvy students to meet and greet new friends, administrators […]
Not sure how I missed this the first go around. But David Warlick posted about EdBloggerNews that Will Richardson set up a while back. I looked at the site yesterday morning at about 5:30am and was very impressed. A digg style site for Education 2.0. If you haven’t gone to the site and grabbed the rss feed do it now. […]
While I was out at school yesterday I took a tour of the new media center that will be ready in 10 days time for the start of school. Now, I’ve mentioned before how fast they build things here in China and hopefully this will drive my point home even more. Remember everything you see here will be (we are […]
I’ve had a couple really good days of working lately. Getting excited for school to start and the more I work on the computer and learn new things, the more excited and more ideas I get for my classes this year. First off you’ll notice a new theme in place. Created by Ben at Binary Moon the theme Regulus caught […]
So I’m in my David Warlick mode at the moment after an uneventful flight back home to Shanghai (Uneventful is a good thing!). It’s 4:00am and of course I’m jet lagged, no better time to catch up on some of the reading I’ve missed in the last couple weeks. I have a laundry list of things I want to finish […]
It seems the only time I’ve had to blog this summer has been while on airplanes. Not exactly how I had my summer planned, but family and friends come first when you have a years worth of conversations to have in a 6 week period. So, another in flight blog entry from 36000 feet above the Pacific Ocean Before I […]
It’s been almost two weeks since my last post which has given me time to reflect and reload for the up and coming school year. My summer, as usual has been a busy one. I have not spent more than 4 nights in the same bed or same house since I got back to the states on June 27th. So […]
I have been surprised with the response that my NECC reflection received. I have to say I wasnÂ’t expecting to receive such supportive comments. I just keep thinking: Where do we go from here? While in the airport on my way to Richmond, Virginia to visit my grandfather who I havenÂ’t seen in 9 years I stopped by the magazine […]
