Yesterday in our cohort reflecting session at the EARCOS Admin Conference we talked a lot about 1:1 programs. Everyone trying to figure out what works, what doesn’t, where to start, and the questions go on and on. I do think we can learn from each other as schools continue to strive to use technology at a true learning tool in […]
There are so many great things happening at our school right now that I find I don’t have time to blog about one before I’m deep into another project with another teacher. All that I know is we’re having some fun! Let’s start in Mr. Jessee’s room where I wanted to share a great Google Earth project that the third […]
Just finished watching this at Smarterware.org and thought I’d share here. The question at the end that is asked of Leo on what should companies be looking for, experience or skill I thought was an interesting one. If you are into new media and the changing landscape have a watch.
Tomorrow I talk off for what looks to be a great three days in the Middle East. It will be my first time back to the Arabian Peninsula since we left Saudi Arabia in 2005. Needless to say I’m brushing up on the few words of Arabic that I know. It’s an honor to be invited. The Education Project was […]
As I wrap up my time here at the International School of Brussels I can’t help but think about the students that get an opportunity to go to such an amazing school. I had the pleasure of sitting last night and reflecting on my time here as I watched my first American Football game in over 8 years. I’m proud […]
Safe and sound in Brussels after 13 hours of flying and making a 45 minute connection in Amsterdam. As I was walking to collect my luggage in Brussels I passed this sign: What a great way to be welcomed into Brussels and right away I knew I found my theme for the next three days. The website that is […]
In just a few hours I’ll be heading to the airport to start my 13 hour trip to Brussels, Belgium. For the rest of the week. I’ll be working specifically with the elementary teachers and having conversations about literacy today, and the use of laptops with elementary students. I’m excited to visit ISB-Brussels and have conversations with the educators there. […]
Over the past couple of weeks I’ve been working closely with a couple of our 3rd grade teacher looking at their mapping unit and using Google Earth. I talked about the lessons I was helping with a couple blog posts ago. What has been really great about this project is how I’ve been able to support and differentiate the project […]
I can’t believe I’ve been blogging for 4 years…and that after 4 years….I still have things to say. 🙂 Last week while working with 5th Graders on their blogs and talking about blogging one students asked, “How’d you get to be famous?” I love 5th Graders! My answer: You have to write something that people want to read, and the […]
Of course I’m talking about a Flickr Pro Account. Flickr has to be the one website that I would say is definitly worth the $25 you’ll spend and can benefit every teacher in the school. There is no way, I don’t care how big or small your school is that for $25 you can create, maintain, and support: Unlimited uploads […]
