Pretty good room full for David’s Telling the New Story session. I’d say there’s probably 125 or so here. David starts the presentation by showing a video of an elephant jumping on a trampoline. Stating can we train education to do this referring to training the elephant to jump on the trampoline. David shows us the handout blog he has […]
Dewitt Jones: First can I say how HUGE this conference hall is! Five large screens giving late comers like me sitting way in the back a great view via a screen. Dewitt’s motivational speech was great, of course the beautiful pictures that he had to help tell his story were great as well. Dewitt’s message was simple. Push yourself to […]
I finally found some time this morning to post what I think our my top 7 posting of the 05-06 school year. Vicki Davis of the Cool Cat Teacher Blog asked for our top 10. I couldn’t find 10 I really liked so I only have 7. (Guess that says something about my writing!) So here are my top postings! […]
So many great things! I have a couple sessions that overlap because I couldn’t decided which one I wanted to go to. I’m sure some things will change between now and then, but for the most part this is where you’ll find me. I’ll be blogging (barring any technical problems) as many sessions as I can. I’ll be posting both […]
Just some random thoughts before I get on the airplane: It’s been over 10 days now since I had a good sit down session with my computer. Although it was worth every moment…I missed it. 🙂 I missed the conversations, the people, the reading. Which is interesting coming from a guy who spent his whole elementary career in the reading […]
I know it’s been quiet here lately. But I’ll let the pictures tell you what I’ve been up to lately. That’s my wife in the cage with a 4 meter Great White saying Hello. This is our friend Mr. Humpback putting on a show for us. Swam within 3 meters of him and had fun for 5 days watching them […]
Delayed posting by 3 days IÂ’m sitting here in the Johannesburg airport. Mad again that they have wireless access but want me to pay for it. At $5 for 30 minutes, IÂ’ll wait to upload later. We have a couple hours before our flight to Cape Town leaves, so my wife is catching a couple Zs on my lap while […]

School’s out for the year and it’s that first Saturday when all the stress of the year starts to fade away and you look forward to the summer. I should be packing now for our flight out of here today but who needs clothes anyway. 😉 I’m getting excited for my first NECC conference, especially now that I know it’s […]
There are many reasons to love flickr. One of them being that on the last day of school when your stress level is at that point that you realize you have way to much to do to meet your checkout time, a picture like this flashes on your screen. It’s then you realize that everything is going to be alright! […]
