I just received my print edition of NEA Today and the cover story was “Digital Divide: Mind the Gap“. I immediately read the article and sent out a tweet about the online version.

I created a resource site for the parents at wikispaces - you can check it out here: Parent Workshop Resources.

I’m writing this on my 3rd day at home with a sick baby this week……….not the best place to be for a teacher. This is EXACTLY why I was extremely hesitant to re-enter the workforce after having my children and staying home with them for 2 years. I knew too well how fragile every single [...]

I finally joined the hipsters and created a Facebook account this week. I swore I wouldn’t do it, but here I am - one of the masses. It’s not that I actually have anything against Facebook or any other social networking sites, it’s just that I really don’t have time for the social part [...]

In business classes we call this a barrier to entry - in education I’ll just call it insane. Let’s start at the beginning, though.

The title says it all.

A conversation with Eric Brunsell about the value of Personal Learning Networks in pre-service teacher training

During my morning blog-reading session, I came across Random Thoughts of a Teacher, and on her blog was this badge:
Random Thoughts of a Teacher via kwout
Wow, way to go, Random Thoughts!
Well, I thought it was pretty cool, so I headed on over to The Blog Readability Test, thinking that for sure my blog has to [...]
