I had a lively conversation the other day with some Ed Tech folks on what students should be able to do and access at school. This of course is one of my favorite topics with Middle School students…they are about the only age brave enough and stand up and say…”Your generation has it wrong.” Crazy Kids…don’t they know we know […]
My wife and I just finished the 7th and final Harry Potter book this weekend and all I can keep thinking is…this is why books will never go away. I’ve been accused of being a hater of books from time to time. I push the digital, digital is what I do and therefore it is what I preach. Nevertheless, reading […]
I’ve been tagged a couple of times now for the 8 Random Things meme that’s been going around. Guess that means I better put them up and tag some others. 1. After 5 years of not owning a car…we bought one this summer. 2. The 6 weeks that was my summer I never spent more than 5 nights in the […]
A couple people have asked for the IETP we created for our teachers. I love it when I actually create something that I can share back to the community that gives me so much. I did take it off our letterhead and add a Creative Commons license to it. Please use and if you remix it…please share with others. Technorati […]
Thank you to everyone who commented and read my last post…the comments meant a lot to me (they always do) I guess that’s part of the reason why we all blog…that feeling we’re not alone. That we’re not insane in thinking the way we think…feel the way we feel. I still remember reading Warlick for the first time and saying […]
There was a point this summer not long after NECC that I started wondering if I was doing the right thing. Are we barking up the wrong tree? It hit me as I sat in the car one day looking at a bunch of people waiting at a bus stop. As I sat at the red light I starting thinking […]

Can’t believe it’s been 10 days since I posted a blog entry. It’s been good though…spent 3 days in San Diego visiting my sister-in-law and time with family and friends over the other days has made it worth being disconnected. The time I have been online has been focused on the graduate course I’m teaching for Plymouth State University. The […]
So Yesterday I get done writing about how society and our use of networks and technology is why school need to change and headed out to do some shopping and get some pictures printed off for family and friends. We’ve been living overseas now for 5 (going on 6) years. Every summer when we return on holiday we find that […]
I was reading Will’s post today It’s Not Just the “Read/Write” Web and then thanks to twitter John Pederson’s post on Networks (I think that’s what it’s on anyway). As I read I started thinking about a post I did back in January on defining School 2.0. Not sure if it’s OK to quote yourself but back then I wrote: […]
