WACTE Boot Camp

I just returned from a fantastic trip to Casper where Cody and I gave a mini Technology Boot Camp to high school teachers who are members of WACTE.

It was a great time. What an amazing group of people! Every time I work with K-12 teachers I am more inspired by their dedication and persistence in the face of continual criticism and regulation.

We started the session with a Poll Everywhere to find out what they most wanted to talk about from a fairly long technology list. We started with Poll Eaverywhere and video production and moved on through several topics. It was a fun day with great people!

The return to the blog!

It has been awhile, almost 3 years, since my original attempt to be a blogger ended. After a conversation with a faculty member I have decided to make another attempt.

My stumbling block in the past is my hesitation that I have little to add to the multiple conversations around teaching and technology. Although I still feel that this is mostly true I also realize that due to the unique nature of my job I can spend more time sifting through the information than most people and certainly more than most faculty.

As an effort to support faculty I am willing to try my hand at blogging.

Wish my luck!
