Welcome to my blog!

The purpose of my blog is have a place where teachers can come to find inspiration, to check out my ideas, to socialize and mostly importantly to find company when the "to do" lists are too long and the days are too short! Everyone needs a healthy professional diversion every once and a while, welcome to mine!

Please watch as this blog comes together to reflect my thinking and learning throughout the school year and beyond!

Web 2.0 Inservice!

I'm pretty excited about the in-service on Wednesday! Granted, I'm a little nervous, but I think it will be a cool opportunity for some of my friends to learn some cool new things that will help them both personally and professionally! Blogs are fun and easy and I think they should replace paper newsletters in the classroom. I can't wait to see what my cooleagues think!

A little bit about me...

Dr. Randy Pausch Gives the Commencement Charge to Carnegie Mellon Graduates

Please take a moment to watch this video. It makes a perfect companion to my first podcast, which talks about Dr. Pausch's book and lecture. I have learned so much from this man's simple messages. This has impacted me both personally and professionally in such a positive way. Watch. Enjoy. But most of all, find your passion!
