Yeah, about that...

new year's resolution...blog weekly. I will keep saying it until I develop the habit and that will take like,what, 25 times. Lordy.
nteresting week of events with the archdiocese conference being part of it all. Out in the middle of nowhere with some computer and presenter problems, it wasn't really much. important thing was to be seen and start talking to people. There next meeting will be in February with my favorite tech rock star, Alan November. Interesting and poorly planned coincidence/ That is the second day of the ICE conference in St. Charles that will have Vicki Davis 9 Web 2.0 rock star) and Vinne Vrotny, the guy i heard at ISACS last year that got the wheels turning in my head. Hopefully, i will actually get to be in the 1/2 day workshop with Vicki Davis. also, I am hoping to find out more about podcasting as I have just had the tech department order 2o head phones for a middle school cart.
The lesson plans for grade 6 involving website evaluations seem to have gone pretty well. We will follow up with discussion this coming week. Jody has opened and started a blog to communicate with all regarding her travels in Egypt. i have just completed a webquest to use with the 8th grade as a connection to our trip this Friday to see Ella the Musical.
This week will begin with a bang as i will be traveling to the North Suburban Library Services in Wheeling to participate in a Big 6 workshop which again talks about the value of teaching students about how to evaluate a website.
All this on the heels of Hardey Day ( great idea, just not enough screwdrivers0 and a winter storm that caused Billy and the boys to loose power out in the wilds of Iowa.
hope I remember to blog next week as well:)
