The Weary Kind

This week I made a return to Facebook after a two month break. The place hasn’t changed much, still the same old group of h.s. and college friends posting the same old stuff. No deep thoughts like the last time I went on Facebook hiatus.  I thought maybe my break would inspire me because, I haven’t written anything in a while.  No dice!

On the school front, I have a number of looming projects:
  • A "must-have" booklist of titles released in the last 4 years for grades k-5, 6-8 and 9-12
  • A technology site visit-which I plan to do at a locally owned burger joint, an essay and presentation on digital storytelling. 
  • A presentation on selecting educational games in the K-12 environment
  • A multimedia presentation designed to introduce and orient students to the Vera W. Russell Curriculum and Technology center (website in re-design).

At work, the Vera W. Russell Curriculum and Technology Center is proud to announce its new text messaging service.  Additionally, we have plans in the works to launch a Twitter and Facebook profile as soon as possible.  Progress on the web page redesign is picking up.  Look forward to more posts soon!

Lots of work to be done, but this blog has no space for the weary kind. I am excited to work on the upcoming projects, blog my process and share what I learn.

Finally, Dean Shareski suggested all of our presentations this year have the title of a song. I will take that meme into titles of blog posts, I hope you enjoy.
