Welcome to the new site!
A little over a month ago a few friends and I started a brand new endeavor. For months now we’ve been in love with amazing podcasts that we listen to at home and when we travel. To everything from Techlandia, to the Tech Chicks, to Instructional Tech Talk. But one thing that all of the…
Has it really been just over a year since I joined Twitter?? Wow how time flies. And this past year has by far been the most exhilarating and enlightening year of my professional career! Just at a year ago I wrote this blog post for Texas Principal http://texasprincipal.org/index.php/texas-principals-education-help-support-team/entry/twitter-a-necessity-for-educators-in-2012 I had just started getting active on…
A few of my Waller Kiddos I’ve just spent the last 5 days at a children’s camp in Giddings, Texas called Camp Tejas! This was my 14th year to attend, and every time summer I go I’m reminded how much of an impact this camp has. Now I’ve never had any of my posts be…
Music is a powerful tool. I’ve always been a huge music fan, so much so, that for a while I wanted to be a radio DJ. I love every kind of music and have over 20,000 songs on my iPod. I believe music holds the power to change lives, move you to laughter, or move…
I’ve been toying with this blog post for a while, trying to figure out exactly what I wanted to say. One thing that keeps coming to my own personal thoughts is the idea of “does my voice really matter”? Do I have ideas that are worth sharing? Can I have an impact on anyone? And…
So this post has been mulling in my brain a lot lately. This summer I’ve already been able to attend two amazing conferences, iPadPalooza and ISTE. At both those conferences there was a focus on technology and bringing technology seamlessly into the classroom. I learned so much at those conferences and connected with amazing people,…
So I left ISTE 2013 today. Man what an exciting, invigorating, exhausting, and somewhat life changing experience I had these past 5 days at ISTE. Before I jump into my week I think it might be best if I give a little background information about myself to help you better understand why this week made…
So yesterday was my first experience ever with ISTE (the international technology conference). Now granted ISTE didn’t start yesterday for “normal” people, but yesterday was when they held ISTE Unplugged, or the HackEd Conference. It was very similar to an EdCamp model. And man I had a blast. So I left my house at 4:30am…
Well I am SO excited to announce a new endeavor I am undertaking with two of my friends; Stacey Huffine (@TechNinjaStacey) and Chris Kesler (@iamkesler). It’s a new podcast series called EduAllStars! At least twice a month (maybe more) we will be interviewing different people in the education field to hear their stories and to…
So school is officially over!! Man it has been an incredible year. There have been so many positive things that happened this year for me and my class. I can’t even begin to start thinking about them now! But man did this last week really test me. Due to many unforeseen circustances I had to…
Another eventful week!! Most of the week was spent on completing our Roller Coaster project. This project had no real reason except to be fun at the end of the year. About a month ago I told my students to start collecting toilet paper rolls, paper towel rolls, and cardboard boxes (cereal, cracker, etc). Then…
The last two weeks have been a blast. First of all we’ve been working on our latest project; Bridge building! I wanted a fun project that still involved some math so here’s what we did… The first things students did was watch two videos from Discovery Education about how bridges are built in the real…
