This is going to be a busy week. Many things are coming to a head all at once. First, I am going to have to go on a marketing blitz for TeachMeet, which really means that I will be calling nearly every school within 3 hours of Nashville. Mostly, I have been calling librarians [...]
I am hoping to release a new chapter by Sunday of every week. Splitting free time between writing the book and working on TeachMeet Nashville planning resulted in almost not getting this week’s chapter finished in time.
This week I am releasing the second chapter. If you have not read the introduction, you may want [...] As a teacher, I know how much teachers make and try never to ask people to buy or spend anything. When working with teachers, I try to always suggest free tools. I would like to ask your help with getting TeachMeet going. There are several ways that you can help.
First, you can sign-up to [...] Last time I wrote up an official update about the status of TeachMeet was January 23, 2010. Luckily, in the last two weeks, things have really started to look up. The main concern in the last update was money. We had only $650 and we needed at least $1000 for the venue alone. Thankfully, [...]
Sunday night has become my time to reflect on my current Big Project (my hope-to-be book, Techniques for Effective Technology Integration). I consider last week’s mission to be a success. I was able to write the whole first chapter (all 38 pages), with help from Debra Gottsleben (@gottsled), Bryan Jackson (@bryanjack), and Bryan’s student [...]
First, I owe a big thank you to everyone who helped out with this. There are at least 10 people who I have added to the special thanks list to be included at the beginning of the book when it is published. In particular, though, @lasichelped me retool the introduction and gave me some [...]
Back in December, I read on the Lifehacker blog that one of the best ways to keep a resolution is to make it as public as possible. I have been and will continue to recruit many people in my PLN into this book project because I believe that, if it’s done right, it can [...]
My peers both here and on Twitter were very helpful and encouraging in getting me to write the book that I am working on. Below, I have put download links in both .doc and .pdf form, as well as embedded the introduction via Scribd. This is very much in the first draft stage and [...]
Recently, I asked you, the readers of this site, and my colleagues and friends on Twitter to give me some feedback on an idea I have for a book. You can read about it and participate here if you missed it. The feedback was both encouraging, enlightening, helpful, and warning about certain issues, such [...]
This was honestly one of the busiest days of the last several months for me as a teacher, starting with my impromptu, albeit productive, Google Wave session with @ShellTerrelland @MrR0g3rsat 5:30 in the morning and ending with my Twizza in-service. If you are just reading for the first time, you’re probably thinking something like: [...]
