Learning In Hand

You can use an adapter and a cable to mirror exactly what's on your iPad's display onto a projector or television screen. When picking out an adapter, you need to know if your device has a Lightning or 30-pin Dock connector. You also need to know if your projector has HDMI or VGA input.

Learning in Technicolor

I've been a blogger since 2009, but I've been a writer for always. When I was principal, I wanted our students to have safe spaces where they could share their writing with the world and learn to proficiently use digital tools to make their voices heard.

Stories of learning and leading


Leading from 60,000 feet
Last year I attended my first ever ISTE conference. To say it was a fantastic learning experience would be an understatement. I attended some incredible sessions, met some amazing educators, and thoroughly enjoyed following the #ISTE12 hashtag on Twitter before, during, and after the event.
open thinking
So to make a long story short, there I met you. You sent me an email telling me you were an engineer that travels all the time. You had two kids and your wife died giving birth to the last.
My Island View

When I spoke in Sacramento last week about today's failed fads in education, the town's leading newspaper ignored my appearance.

Teacher Tech
Based off a suggestion from Chris Tenbarge I am passionate about using spreadsheets for so many things, but one in particular is giving students feedback.

October 10, 2013 · 11:04 am Have you ever sat through a bad presentation? Me too. But I never realized how serious of a problem it was until one day in 2008. It was a Wednesday in fact.
