JUNE IS HERE!

Um, I could come up with a million excuses why I haven't been blogging, but I won't..let's just say I'm gonna dust myself off, and start all over again!
Just got back from a great workshop in Billings, Montana! I had the privilege of working with a stellar group of educators at the University of Billings for two days and it was a great learning adventure! Bonus round went to dinner with Darren Hudgins of Oregon, who is just too cool for school! We had a great time chatting and chewing while attempting to wait for our esteemed friend Rushton to make his way...flight delayed, flight delayed again, plane changes,and then viola at 10:45 he appears! Note: Do NOT rely on airport signs, stick with the internet as a reliable resource!
My biggest aHA...flubaroo.com If you thought self graded exams was cool..you ain't seen nuthin yet!

Before February passes me by....

You know that goal of blogging regularly and taking the time to reflect? Well, it didn't happen in February at all. I decided I had more important things to do and I shall challenge myself in March to reflect more often on my learning and growing..
Highlights of February included a wonderful grouping of stellar conferences that I presented and attended and more importantly met new friends that make me think.
My favorite is David Zach, from Milwaukee. He is a futurist that keynoted at the ITSC conference in Oregon and really gave a good talk. I hope to carry on more conversations with him when he travels to St. Louis soon...yep, face to face conversations are always the best!
I also worked online with some great teachers in Maryland with Google Earth and their STEM project. Garmins are fitting in well with their curriculum and I'm looking forward to seeing some of their final projects!
I was also able to work face to face with some great teachers in Illinois and Florida. Ok, I have to admit, the weather was stellar in Florida and it was also my birthday...what a gift it was NOT to wear a coat!!!

More Google Educators in Canada!

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!

WOW, Never in my wildest dreams did I think 2010 was going to be that FANTASTIC!!!

I was able to learn so much and teach so much and travel so much...well, let's just say all my original goals were blown away!!

I think that 2011 is going to be another stellar adventure with just glancing at January alone..

Silver Springs, Detroit, Chicago, Toronto, Orlando...yep..suitcase, laptop and brain ready to learn, explore and most of all ....ENJOY!!
