Long time.....

WOW, it has been a long time since the last post. Tons has happened but I'll start in the present.

Joey has been accepted to Bowling Green State University and Tiffin University so far! We are waiting on word from the University of Akron. This is an exciting time and a fearful time. I never paid much attention to others comments about how it goes so fast......that is an understatement. Joey is a young man now, heading towards an unbridled future. Exciting for all of us but there are worries as well.

Our household is busy as ever, with much going on having a senior in the home. We continue to geocache and chase Sadie around the yard with the frisbee. She is truly an amazing dog!

Next, great lunch choices, so nice to be able to pick and choose to suit the palate. So onto EdCamp itself. The day started off with a wonderful conversations, followed by a brief introduction from Toby.  I was so pleased to reconnect with Becky Rice (@reric...

Beyond the scope of pen and pencil, we can now easily tell and share our stories digitally with mobile phones, flip cameras, recording our voice or using free web tools.

It offers us, educators, a new and a very 21st century way to captivate students’ attention, facilitate learning, reach shy students and increase collaboration and community in a classroom.
