Hello world...

Hello world. Today is the first day of the rest of my life. Humm.. I've heard that before.. It is true though. I feel more empowered to teach today than I ever have. With the emerging technologies, this digital immigrant is striving to stay on top of the game and to help others in their quest to improve what they do as well.

I spent three days this week developing an action plan for the upcoming year at the school where I begin teaching this fall. I've realize that while I think I know a lot, there is a lot that I don't know. So, I"m spending the few days I have off over the next week or so exploring all the software and websites that we were exposed to.

Collaborative learning has been a mainstay of my teaching style from Day 1, even though I didn't realize that was what I was doing until about Day 256834921345. Now, with Google Docs and wallwisher.com and a bunch of other programs, I can take my collaborative learning style a step further and do things that I had only imagined doing. I am excited!!!

Time to head off of here, church is in a bit.

Until next time, ciao.
