I spent last year traveling with my laptop visiting family and friends in Boston, Chicago and Washington D.C. WHY? I needed a break and was enrolled in a Distance Education Certificate Program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison for the entire year. Two of our assigned readings were "Minds on Fire" , and the Horizon Report. Great food for thought about "so now what do we do?' I love reading books and I had time to learn that the world is flat and that this is for sure not a test!!! To learn about how students are adapting to the online world in education was also a goal of mine during my year of reflection. Last October I attended the Virtual School Symposium-NACOL and met so many great people who care about the children in this country. Yes, I joined NACOL and now I want to be part of this Classroom 2.0. I want to share and learn to help others collaborate......
Are you going to NECC? I am hoping it will work out but am still looking into it to see if I can make it. I so want to go and learn there. Unfortunately, Friday is best for me, but not for you. :) I can always talk on the phone or chat in skype or google chat tomorrow. Are you on twitter? Just joined last week. dobrien917
Maybe we can at least talk on the phone or via email for a few minutes. :) Guess what, I may be going to NECC too. Sorry that we have both been so busy to talk. :) We are still teaching/in meetings at work until June 15th and the schedule has been CRAZY. I think I gave you my number. Feel free to call anytime!!
