Now that April 15th is over and we've all paid our taxes, the next big thing on a teachers list is State Testing, April 21st-25. The students have all worked so hard all year learning the ABC's, how to add, subtract, read and write. Now it is their time to shine and show off what they know...

Andrea Bennett, one of my favorite people, and the Executive Director of CETPA (CA Educational Technology Professionals Association) e-mailed me today asking if I would do her a huge favor and write an article for the OnCUE (Computer Using Educators) magazine on behalf of the CETPA...

Watch this entire 25 minute long video!
Three points to be made about this video -
1 - Nervousness and other problems with speaking in public can (and will) be overcome by passion for the subject and telling a personal story. It doesn't matter what your problems with speaking are, you can...

I recently had a whale of a time at the Computer Using Educators (CUE) Conference in Palm Springs with 3 collegues of mine. This is a conference I never miss, but it is primarily aimed at classroom teachers, so if I go without taking some teachers along with me, it feels like I'm wasting an...

Dear Dogs and Cats, in the family
The dishes with the paw print are yours and contain your food.
The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Please note, placing a paw print in the middle of my plate of food does not stake a claim for it, becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that...

Rumors or Facts?
I heard two bombshells on Friday, 2/15/2008, which made me concerned for the education of our children here in the Northwest and I was hoping that I could get some answers from others on the board.
First, I heard that Rosedale layed off about 30 teachers and that they will be...

It's easy to get into the rut of believing that interruptions are the things that hold you back from getting "real" work done. As a technology director, I am one of the most interrupted people in my school district!
I had an interruption recently, however, that reminded me of...

I while ago I blogged about the opportunity I would soon have to speak to my peers at the CETPA conference. That opportunity has come and gone, and as expected, I am a better man for the experience.

No, it's not!
Lately, I've become very interested in alternatives to the traditional Microsoft Office Suite of applications. You know, the ever useful, standardized, and famous Word, Excel, and PowerPoint applications. These are great computer programs, make no mistake. There...

So, I've been accepted as a speaker/presenter at the next CETPA (California Educational Technology Professionals Association) conference in October. To me, this generates excitement, a sense of honor, and naturally, some fear.
My respect for this organization and its members is...

It's not necessary for me to write a lot about this at this time. Instead, I'd love it if folks would watch a 20 minute video which pretty much says what needs to be considered by leaders today who make decisions in education.
I believe that the arts have been and continue to be...
