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 […]

Presenting…
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: I feel like the glass […]
THINGS THAT MAKE YOU GO HMMMMMM…
This blog has a subtitle: Reflections on Education, Technology and Learning My other less-frequently used blog, ‘Practic-All’, is subtitled, Pragmatic tools and ideas for the classroom. Recently I started using this other blog to provide a digital addition to my Principal’s weekly e-mail update. I did 9 of these to end the year off. I […]
Edupunk or Educational Leader?
Confession #1: I had planned on calling this post, “Edupunk or edubunk?” bunk: nonsense- a message that seems to convey no meaning That was before reading this simple, but very powerful post by Jen D. Jones. Now I need to change my approach. My main point sits under Confession #3 below. – – – – […]
Something from Nothing
A Blog from Nothing I remember when I put a ClustrMap on my blog. I saw one on a novel study wiki and thought it would be great for student wikis & blogs, to help students see that they have a global audience. It took me over an hour to figure out how and where […]

I actually posted this after I went back to the beginning of my blog and started the reposting process. There is only one other time […]
Do not go quietly into your classroom
I spent Friday morning with 22 student teachers and a couple teachers from my school. My goal was to introduce them to the world of web2.0, wikis, and del.icio.us. Well 2 out of 3 ain’t bad- I didn’t really get into delicious beyond an introduction. That aside, I think this group of future teachers really […]
And finally, I will leave you with this:
This is the end of my last post on our class Ning network for Planning 10 this term. The first link isn’t really appropriate but my students get my sense of humour by now, and we just finished talking about sex-ed, so I put it in anyway. For reasons I cannot express in this venue […]
Instantaneous

I click the link to uStream and find that 12 others have also joined her meeting, later there were 17 of us. Vance Stevens is talking and a participant in the meeting links […]
“You can’t go back now, can you?”
It’s the old allegory of the cave. Last Friday I was leaving the school and I popped into my VP’s office. Among other things, Anthony and I often talk about technology in the classroom. One thing led to another and I showed him the YouTube video that was the subject of my last post: iPhone […]
