It is now a month after BLC08 and a recent comment has stirred up some thoughts that sent me back to a blog draft I wrote months ago. On Defragging my brain after BLC08, Angela Kerns mentioned that of my nine ‘take-aways’, #3 and #4 resonated with her:
3. Face-to-face meetings with your network are powerful… […]

Here are some brief ‘take-aways’ to jot down before things spill out and away.
1. […]

How much is too much?
I like to lurk in Twitter, but I’m having full-on conversations with Plurk. I just spent over an hour putting my Firefox tabs into diigo. After that I started cleaning up my desktop and found a screen capture I made on twirl over a month ago:
I also bookmarked this Liz […]

I missed out on NECC both physically and online. Despite my wonderful network, with @derrallg Ustreaming, and @durff plurking live links, I just could not find the time. I’ve read a few blog posts about NECC, but one has caught my attention. Ewan McIntosh is (Not) coping with cognitive overload:

The Flickering (Never)Mind

A colleague and good friend sent this review of The Flickering Mind to me, wanting to hear my rebuttal. Here it is!
This outdated book, The Flickering Mind, is based on very poor research, it lacks any meaningful data, and it seeks out the worst of the worst in order to prove a point. How about […]

Two ’stuck’ posts, a borrowed post with an added rant, and a few questions.

I have 2 blog posts on the go right now that I can’t get myself to complete.
One is on Digital Citizenship which looks at a post by Vicky A. Davis. The concepts I am formulating are in need of some more deep thought, and I don’t know when I will get […]

In a recent post, Labels and Limits, David quotes a Washington Post article, “Increasing […]

A Typical Day…
Last Thursday started out as a typical day. I was supervising my Athletics Leadership group as they ran their first lunch-time 3-on-3 basketball games… the event went well with participants and spectators from all grades. Right at the warning bell for the end of lunch, another teacher came to me and, with a […]
