Coffee and Computers…I'm wired.

Lone Star Edublogger Con…or Bust (0)

I’m really looking forward to TCEA this year! I’ve been on a bit of a hiatus due to my health and I’m jumping back into my virtual environment starting with TCEA ! I’m planning a blog revamp, a return to my sadly neglected twitter account, and even more resources posted on this site for others [...]

What I Learned at ASCD… (2)

Just got back from four days in Houston – A.K.A. The Surface of the Sun!!! – at the ASCD summer conference. If you read my early post, you know the trip down was less than stellar – thanks to no air conditioning on the bus and a heat index of 105. There were some other [...]

Just Testing Out ScribeFire (1)

I love collaborating with ITs from other districts! I invariably learn new and incredibly useful things that I can bring back to my teachers! ScribeFire is one of them! I’d not heard of it until my buddy from White Oak, Scott Floyd, introduced me to it! I’m really enjoying the ease with which I can [...]

Feelin’ the Heat in Houston (0)

Can I just say…it’s stinkin’ HOT! We loaded onto our charter bus at about 12pm on Thursday. The trip started out well, everyone excited about the upcoming conference in Houston. ASCD here we come!
Then the air went out on the bus. UGH! With a heat index of 109 degrees, we were riding on a bus [...]

Gogofrog…Ribbit (0)

I have to say that I am still liking gogofrog.com! This nifty little web 2.0 gem lets you create 3D rooms to store your stuff – blog, forum, photos, etc….all while being surprisingly easy to use. I’ve gone in and just played with it myself, althought I’ve surfed through several teacher-made sites that are quite [...]

TechChicks Just Rock My Socks (0)

I love the Tech Chicks. I lurk around their site all the time learning new and fabulous things. I just had to post a link here to the most recent tech tip they’ve added. Hot damn! I’m SO integrating this into a pilot for our new HS grading policy! Awesome!
The Power of Twitter – Math [...]

TMSDS….Not Fully Loaded? (0)

Okay – so TEA creates this site that allows Math and Science teachers to create diagnostic assessments for their students. The site also aggregates the data from the TEKS aligned assessments. It sounds all cool and techie/curriculumi…which gives me warm fuzzies. However….and you had to know there would be a however…it does NOT play well [...]

Vision 2020 (0)

Settled in to tackle my Masters’ class assignment today. I had to summarize different parts of the Vision 2020 Texas Long Range Technology Plan. Wow. What an eye opener.
I’m a little bit freaked out to be honest with you…because if we are going to get to where we are going to be expected to be…we’d [...]
