Ok, perhaps the title is just a fun play on words, but the more I thought about the discussions we had at our first F2F about the Eisenhower Matrix and the debate about what is urgent vs. important in connection with the work we do and hope to do, the more I began contemplating the […]
This is a cliche, I know. However, it’s kind of true. No matter how much you have done at this point, you, Season 7 Cohort21ees, are going to show up today in less than 2 hrs. The time is now! Speaking of time… and often I do… I read a really timely and personally motivating […]
So glad I’ll be rejoining the #Cohort21Party tomorrow at the 2nd F2F for the 2017-18 season! But, what does it mean to be ‘still going’ to the party? I’ve selected that title for my blog because it’s kind of my new motto… sometimes I get pretty stuck when it comes to blogging, but I love […]

It’s the final countdown… One of the tools I’ve latched onto and used with students this year is Symbaloo. I am really enjoying this tool and it’s applications. While my action plan itself is not centered around webmixes as such, I have introduced it to my colleagues as a part of the package I think […]
The end of my second set of Twitter workshops signified another shift in my action plan. This most recent series of workshops focused on advancing the power and usefulness of Twitter via Tweetdeck. I found my attendees were very excited about the layout and the opportunity to customize columns. And while I still have […]
This post should have happened before March Break. Truly. But it didn’t. It also should have happened before Derek’s Twitter chat… But it didn’t. In fact, I actually thought the Twitter chat was tonight, which is why I mad-dashed to my Mother’s house (she’s a good egg, and she has internet, which […]
(AKA My Response to the 3rd F2F Session… Part I) My original draft for my action plan post (which clearly did not make it to the published realm) focused on Twitter. I have been excited about Twitter since my first Twitter chat back in the fall of 2014, and I dove in faster to this […]
