After attending Alan November's Conference, Building Learning Communities this summer, and hearing Will Richardson speak, I just had to get the blog rolling, so to speak. As a Technology Integration Specialist with a masters in reading and language the new Read/Write web that Will talks about is intriguing to me. I'm intereted in many aspects of technology use in the classroom so I'm sure I'll be creating many blogs to address various aspects of technolog in education.

This is an exciting summer for me - I call it my life-long learning summer! Not really going to get to the beach much with what I have in store for myself!
Let's see - I started out going to Chicago to my granddaughter's first birthday party! It was at "The Point" which is a lovely park on Lake Michigan.
Next there was the Building Learning Communities conference at the Newton Marriott. WOW! More about that later - it never has disappointed me yet!
Now I am preparing to go to Manchester New Hampshire for the Constructivist Consortium with Gary Stager et al. I'll make sure to tell you all about that later.
The grand finale will be the week before we go back to school. It will be a week at MIT! Cool, huh? I'll also talk more about that later. I really hadn't done much with my blogs last year. It was kind of a depressing year for various reasons. But I am feeling like myself again and my new focus on the Commonwealth Priority Schools will also be quite stimulating. I look forward to this challenge. This entry is just a quick synopsis of my summer. So - now I need to go and gather my photos and get some serious blogging done. See you soon!!
