A Day in the Life

It’s been a long time since I have blogged anything longer than 140 characters at a time. My old blog died on the vine a few months after I signed up for Twitter about 2 years ago. Microblogging was more satisfying for me. It allowed me to toss snarky, sarcastic comments into the air easily. I would get more replies from my tweets or plurks than I would get comments on my blog. Not that getting comments on my blog was the motivation for my blogging in the first place. My initial motivation was to use the blog for reflection. But I found I really liked the feedback and discussion that was taking place in the microblogosphere (is that even a word?)

So why start a new blog now? I recently started yet another school year; this time as a Technology Facilitator in a Middle School in a fairly affluent school district in the north suburbs of Chicago. It seems like a good time to start another conversation about education, technology, and how we can educate EVERY child in a manner that will make them productive members of our democratic society. But please, this is a conversation. That means I need you to be a part of it.
