July Happenings

It has taken me a while to finally organize all of my notes and my thoughts from ISTE 2013.  I don't know how some people can continue going to conferences immediately following that "invigorausting" event.  I think I had information overload.  

Anyway, back to my normal routines and getting the school ready for a wonderful new school year.  I think it will be a good one.  We added more computers to the classrooms and are adding a few more SmartBoards as well.  I am also excited that I will finally be getting my Polycom system up and running so we should be able have more virtual interactive field trips and continuation of our Mandarin distance learning with Bishop Ahr.

July has been a busy month, mostly getting the technology in the school updated for the fall. A highlight of the month was presenting my first Corporate-sponsored webinar on overcoming obstacles in global collaborations.  I am looking forward to presenting and participating in more webinars on the topic of global collaborations.  

Next week I will be attending a STEAM EdCamp.  It should be very fun and informative.  I am looking forward to a little time off from working.
