I returned from NECC to face a household of guests. It is similar to leaving a movie 1/2 way through and being dropped in the middle of another one. I am a little dazed and confused. I attended a variety of sessions some great, some not so great. I wish they came with a label such as introduction or advanced. The best part of NECC for me was meeting and talking to people. I meet some of my network face-2-face…
I am trying to get ready for NECC. I am very excited and am sure I will forget something. This is my first NECC and I have been trying to follow all the advice from the NECC Ning. Bring business cards, pre-printed labels, power strip, comfy shoes, sturdy tote. I have spent the day printing up all my confirmations, clearing out my readers, email and getting all the little things done at home so I can focus on meeting friends…
What’s a work week? While I was growing up it was a 5 day, 40 hour work week. I seem to be working all the time now. Some of my work is a self-imposed expectation and some comes from others. I have been struggling with this as the lines between my work, learning, fun, and volunteering blur. I work as a K12 tech integration specialist. I support teachers and students using technology effectively in the classroom for learning and collaboration….

In that time I have met so many wonderful people, learned to much and had a blast doing it. Thanks to all those who have made it such a great place to be and Happy Rez day to all the others born around this time. A special shout out to the following…
I had a great time this weekend meeting and learning with and from some terrific people. I meet with the people in my MassCUE network, and some of the people who make up my twitter network at the New England Tweet up. I met people connected to a virtual network and those that network face to face. I met people not associated with any of my networks. I learned from them all. There has been some chatter lately about the…
* The original post disappeared, this is a re-write to the best of my memory. How do I explain you, my network? Within our Ed Tech department we have been discussing the issues I listed on a previous post. I have also been talking to educators from various schools. Every day I make the following comments; I was speaking with…, I was chatting with an educator from…etc. I always get some pretty odd looks and I believe they think I…
Jen Wagner has tagged me with the Thinking Blog Award, I am flattered. As my past English teachers can attest I have always struggled with writing. Get me talking, I won’t stop. Try to get me writing, I won’t start. I blog for two reasons; to force myself to learn to how to write and to keep track of my ever evolving journey into learning and technology. I have to say it has been quite a journey this last year…
