Well, it's official:(a) I've let this blog stagnate a bit. OK, more than a bit... nothing original in months. So I'm going to do something about it. I'm going to follow another ed-tech blogger's lead and join the Be a Better Blogger in just 30 Days project. Hopefully you'll see some original content instead of all of the placeholders I've been posting. That is - when I've actually bothered

I've been on vacation this week. My readers (both of you - you know who you are!) have encouraged me to get away from the computer completely for a few days... and guess what? It seems to be working. Except for today, that is. Looks like I didn't quite make it after all.Hopefully when I get back into the swing of things next week I can make more time for blogging and tweeting and other ed-tech

In case you were wondering, yes, I'm still alive and working through a bunch of things on the personal side of life. I have a loooooooooot of work material to review and even more to plan for our busy period (summer between the last teacher workday of the year and the first one of the next school year, for those of you playing the home game). Try picking up a data center and moving it a few miles

It's weird how normal ordinary things set my mind off in interesting tangents. Here's today's latest gem:I figured I would go to Subway after church to take advantage of the "five-dollar-footlooooong" promotion they're running. However, this particular one I picked had such disastrous customer service that I did two things I don't normally do:(a) placed a call to the owner's "call me" hotline for

Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I'm dealing with some stuff low on the pyramid. AGAIN.So long story short, the time I have for edtech discussion is limited at the moment. I promise I'll be back - but I just can't say when right now. Sorry.

One thing has come to mind now that our filter software at work changed...There are other avenues of support besides what the vendor "officially" puts up on the Web or in e-mail. For example, there are forums out there where I routinely find expert advice that have nothing to do with a vendor's official information. In fact, it's usually better, since it comes from people who use the product (
