I’m reporting, as promised, on the second parent workshop I led at my middle school. There were only 3 parents in attendance, but again, this allowed for more discussion and personal feedback. My district’s IT director and the middle school principal were also there, which led to a broader perspective on the topics being covered - our […]

I have been asked on twitter and various other places for links to this and links to that, and I just thought I’d make it easier for those of you who wish to follow my research on blogging, social networking, and other web tools. I don’t always have time to blog about the information I […]
