I love to learn. I pulled up this link, from a tweet, and suddenly felt overwhelmed. The same feeling I had when I got up this morning, checked my phone and discovered that a re-tweet, had then been re-tweeted multiple, multiple times. Really cool, but WOW! I could spend every moment of my waking life reading […]
I read many blogs. I have an RSS feeder for personal interests (arts, crafts, home decorating, fashion) as well as a professional reader. I enjoy blog reading, although I will become overwhelmed with some blogs and the number of posts per day. I add and delete blogs pretty fluidly- about once a week- and enjoy […]
There is a new version of ShowMe and I am really excited about it! I discovered ShowMe last year and used it once, and really loved it. It was a super easy way to make a short video to explain a concept that normally would need many, many repetitions in class. In this case, I was […]

Sometimes I forget to take time and say thanks to teachers… because really, they are my inspiration! Just in case any of you forget how awesome you are… here is a little reminder. Enjoy! And BeeTeeDubs- I just learned how to embed a video!!!! SOOOOooooo cool!!!

Frustration! As much as I know, I never know enough. I want to do so much… and I keep learning and teaching myself. But every time I learn something… there are three things more that I want to do. Which leads me to my biggest frustration as a teacher. I can’t imagine doing things the same, year after year, or […]
