I follow a blogger who names each of his posts with "In which". I love it. So if I were to have done that today, it would be "In which I look to the future." sweet. I don't really want to copy somebody else, though. At least today.
Things are going OK at work. I've just kind of stepped back with stuff & and am making sure I take care of what I need to do. That being said, I have been having icky episodes of panic. Not sure why. But it's almost Christmas break!
Yeah. I said Christmas break. What are you going to do about it?
I went to an in-service last week that was supposed to teach us about using technology in the social studies classroom. In so many ways it was useless. I am always shocked at how little teachers know. And how resistant they are to learning and change. WTF? The non-useless part of it was I see there is a local need for a technology professional development presenter. Which I can do.
So I am working on building my online presence in the education world. My ultimate goal is to present PD workshops to districts (or ISDs) to help teachers learn how to integrate technology in the classroom. Preferably in the form of Web 2.0 applications. Having said that, I know I've just kind of jumped on the iceberg (whereas some out there are terrified of cold water and so they are just staying away from the iceberg). As I've been working on my own learning curve (and building a brand) I recognize there are many out there that have built villages on that iceberg. One step at a time. I'm still ahead of the curve.
Are you ready for Christmas? I have a tree up. After three days it's even decorated! And that's it. No gifts, no cookies, nothing. Lack of money can really put a damper on the whole spirit of Christmas. And when I say lack, I don't think we'll be celebrating with gifts this year. Huge concern. Could be adding to my whole panicky feelings.
My kitty is going in for some "adjustments" to his nether regions in two weeks. People told me to get him fixed ASAP so he wouldn't spray. His doctor (who I trust) said he doesn't do it until the kitty is 6 months old, to reduce the chance of urinary tract issues. This morning...when he came to wake me up (the kitty, not the doc)...he smelled. After he'd had a bath Thursday evening. I'm freaking out - I don't want to be a stinky cat house/lady!!
More later. Promise.
I didn't know iceberg was spelled like that...I thought it was iceburg! Huh.

Given the high quality of the design of your blog, your idea of doing workshops for teachers is a great one. Having taught in elementary ed. for 18 years before going into business for myself, I had my share of in-service workshops and I know teachers are a conservative lot. You mention a few terms in this post that are foreign to me. You might want to avoid some technical language, but I'm really computer challenged. I've always felt that handmade, homemade gifts are better than store bought. A little research may enable you to create a memento of 2010 that people will cherish forever. One last thing... In one blog I follow the last post was a picture of a saw on a pegboard in a hardware store with a mention of a connection to the holidays. A few like me didn't get the humor from the author. The picture was of a coping saw. We're all trying to get through the mush.
I hope that you have great success with your latest endeavor!
Hugs & love,
Mimi
Oh dear. I was the stinky cat lady once. No matter how many years I remain single, I vow to not be the stinky cat lady again.
