- About Me
- I am an independent consultant focused on helping school districts change teaching and learning to match` the 21st Century brains. I am located outside of Chicago in RL, but on EduIslandll in SL. I am constantly learning, changing and thinking about the future of education. I feel as if I am resurfacing from a mucky dive after giving 5 ½ years to my local School Board. I have handed in my gavel and look forward to reengaging in the quest to change teaching and learning.

- I'll tell Dan you said hi! I did check out your tech camp, only briefly though. I checked out SL too after reading your comments. What an awesome program. Do you have documnetation on the educaitonal benfits of SL? I am dreaming up some new programs for my middle school kids and am tempted to include it. Teri

- Hi, Meg,
I will have to put some time into SL and get more comfortable but do see the possibilities for learning on that platform.
Just turned on my iPhone and will be exploring its use in the coming weeks. Thanks for your welcome!

- Hi Meg,
Thanks for the invite. I am glad to get to know you and your blog. I just read it and found it interesting and enjoyable. I am especially interested in your SL postings, being a brand new visitor, Rosario Rasmuson. I have ventured in once or twice, but am still pretty lost.
Anyway, am adding your blog to my feed and will enjoy keeping up with you.
