Today was a whirlwind of amazing experiences! Here’s a quick overview: Poster sessions – I especially enjoyed the one on creating a personal brand for students and starting a tech entrepreneurial club. Science and math playground.

#ISTE2014 Day 2: Kicking it off!
I arrived to the Georgia World Congress Center around 1:45 pm today. My goal was to go the opening Ignite Session. I had NO IDEA how popular an event this would be! When I walked in, there were people everywhere. It was a much different atmosphere from yesterday’s #HackEd14. I saw a very long line… Continue reading #ISTE2014 Day 2: Kicking it off!

Instead of moving down… Continue reading It was time to say goodbye to start a new adventure

During Creeks to Coast, we will be studying the Chattahoochee River and… Continue reading Announcing a river exploration adventure!
I’m *that* kid!
A couple of weeks ago, I spend a week in professional development training for a couple pieces of software I’ll be using with students this fall. On the last day, we were able to take exams to become certified users of the software. And from my experience this week and with the exams, I’ve realized… Continue reading I’m *that* kid!
