Brian's Comments

Hi Brian, no I have never done this journey...however I think there is a 'shuttle' service which travels frequently to the centre of london.

Here is a web link that looks useful

Hi Brian!
Thanks for your welcome! The background in my photo is one of the wonderful places in the south of Argentina where I went for my holidays this summer.
BTW, the background of your photo is stunning, too! Wow!

That would be Tommy. I sat next to him on the flight to Dallas. All the state teachers of the year flew to Dallas for a week of professional development and celebration. They fed us well and we had fun getting to know each other. Each one of the teachers is exceptional and dedicated to the profession.

Hi Brian I'll be there the last week in April. We have an event in the Rose Garden and then a Ball that evening at the White House. I'll be tux shopping soon. I'll take plenty of pictures and post some on my page. I'll also write a blog or two about the experience. Thanks for the interest.

Many thanks for the comment Brian. The Greek comments are translated into English and if you look on the right side of the page there is a google translator widget to translate the whole page into English. Like your Blog as well. Fascinating China.!!!

Brian, I just realized where you are from. My hubby & I vacationed in Williamsburg last summer, visiting Yorktown, Jamestown, Cheasapeake Bridge, rode a ferry, rode the Gryphon (SCARY!!!), and loved every minute. You live in an amazing area - except your rodes don't make any sense! We spent 1/2 our time lost! *L*

It is good to hear from you Brian, I only koined this network 2 days ago, and already I have started communicating with a few people...I have been using Flickr quite a lot with maths teachers. For example if you type in 'hexagon' you get lots of creative images that can be used with students..these work well on an interactive whiteboard...You have done loads of things in your career...best wishes from the UK

Big Best Wishes for the 23rd

As I've always tended to work with other teachers in this area, we focus on the History subjects that they are teaching at the time. So we try to find the best way to embed the technology in such a way that it enhances the learning experience for students.

Thanks Brian. Yahoo! For Teachers is and has been a fantastic project to work on. We've spent two years doing research and development, talking with and collaborating with teachers all along the way. We are looking forward to the launch later this year.

Hi Brian, Great to hear from you. Special education teachers have been a small minority on Classroom 2.0, so I'm glad you are here. Thanks for the website resource, I added it to my delicious account, I plan to visit it often. Keep in touch.

Brian,

I've been amazed by who has contacted me through my blog, too! I started blogging because it was required for one of my classes, and at first, I didn't "get" it. That soon changed! For me, a blog is a storage place, a place for memories, a history, a cognitive prosthesis...

Hi There from Brasil Brian!
Thanks for the welcome, I have been experimenting with Wikis in Wikispaces and saw a posting there for this site and joined up :-) There's a lot to see here, it'll take me a while to look through the site :-)

Hi Brian,

Congratulations on making it to the district level. Having been through the process, I know how challenging it is to make it through the stages.

Yeah I am quite excited about the award, but it also makes for a crazy year in terms of scheduling. In MA we don't get the year off, but we still have to do the speaking circuit. It's a lot of work, but I am meeting many great teachers and leaders in education.

I go to Dallas in a few weeks for the National Teacher of the Year Conference to work with the other state teachers. It should be an interesting week.

I was in VA this summer leading a workshop on mathematics with some elementary teachers. They were quite an engaging group. I had a great week out there.

Thanks for the comment,
~Mike~

Brian,
I'll have another look at comments - how annoying! I'm actually just starting a project on proffessional growth as we speak. I'll try and get round to updating the blog at the weekend with my progress so far.
Regards,
Dan

Glad to know u. don't worry, we can communicate well on the net :)

Hi Brian, glad something on the blog was of use to you. It has laid dormant a little lately, I've changed the settings on the comments so they should work again now. Let me know what you used, its always interesting to see others' takes on your thoughts.
As far as the maths-math thing, I have no idea, the English language colloquialisms at their best I guess!
Cheers,
Dan

Hi Brian,
Will get in touch with some teachers perhaps late next week as the school year approaches. Many people go away here for the break.
A comparison between the two countries sounds good - perhaps it can be focused on school life? Animals?
Keep in touch,
Helen
