- About Me:
- I work for the Smoky Hill Education Service Center in Salina, Kansas, which supports seventy-some school districts in north-central and north-western Kansas. I'm mostly just a geek who loves working with students and teachers! I work in area schools and also provide workshops and training sessions on using all the technology tools we can find to improve learning for teachers and students.
The most important part of my day is to learn something new, and I'm so intrigued by the web 2.0 applications I've tried. I've started working with teachers to implement as many of them as I can get them to try! It's an easy sell - a 'try it you'll like it!' phenomenon. What is there NOT to like about web 2.0?

I Read LOTS of Blocked Blogs! So Should YOU!
The Internet world of many teachers I mentor at several different schools has been shaken up recently by the installation of “new and improved” school filtering systems.

Smile - You're 'Out of the Box!'
This note went out from a teacher at one of my project schools to another one this past Friday:
"To realize what happened with the kids during this project is awesome. Now I understand - the light has dawned. I did less work and kids did more work without complaining and learned more than I would have ever dreamed possible - on so many levels. Okay; now I am hooked - teach me how to use this stuff."
I was so lucky to see this unfold in her classes on Thursday. Students (Junior… Continue

Situational Awareness
My husband is a retired Air Force Master Sergeant, and even though we’re a few years out from living that wild, wonderful, crazy existence of being in the military, we have children in the military now and still try to follow what is going on in that world.
One thing that never changes is the use of Jargon. No one does it better than the United States Military. A recent quote in the newspaper, from a Major (whom we know personally) talking about a bombing error by a pilot that resulted… Continue

KSDE Conference
I'm spending today and tomorrow and the KSDE State Conference in Wichita. Wesley Fryer did a great session today revolving around web 2.0 issues - cyberbullying, blogging, social networking and the issues those present to schools.
One comment he made that really sums up what we're trying to do if we are traching kids the 21st century skills they truly need: How do we teach kids to be their own filter?

Checking out the group
OK, now that was fun. I just went through the members list and invited as 'friends' everyone I knew either from prior work experiences, or from reading their blogs quite religiously!
Looking forward to the sharing and the learning!
