Surprise, surprise. I am hesitant to blog lately, partly because of my lack of time, and partly because what I should be blogging about is something that I don’t want to blog about. I am trying to finish up my masters. As I am working on my website (project), and the write up, I feel [...]

I am even more excited to see the assignments change to fit the desire of the students, and the capability of the technology available! Check out Norton Middle School with this article in [...]

festivus for the tech in us
Last week the University of Alaska Fairbanks held TechFest ’09, a jam-packed three-day event hosting dozens of classes on a variety of technology related topics. I took as many as my schedule would allow, and really enjoyed myself. Since I am affiliated with the University at two levels (student and staff), there was not a [...]

mileposts
This entry is slightly off topic, but bear with me and I promise to tie it all together in the end. A friend of mine (and recent professor) recently shared something with me that I felt was worth passing along to my readers. As habit, Eric and I generally share interesting websites that we feel [...]
