Reflection. It’s a thing. I know it’s a thing, but yeesh, it’s really a thing. It’s hard to process that I was a Season 3 participant and now we are on Season 13. And, while I am by no means someone with blogging prowess, as I reflect, the main thing that keeps resurfacing for me […]

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 […]

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 […]
