Welcome to the new site!
This post is probably going to be the most personal post I’ve written. But for me sharing through writing is cathartic so I need to write this out. This past week a tragedy happened within my school family and within my personal family’s life. To keep the backstory short, here’s a little of what happened……
If there’s one thing I’ve learned being a teacher and working with kids, it’s that building relationships should be your number one priority. And I think this mainfest by Angela Maiers speaks VOLUMES and is our class motto The education is important, the skills are important, the lessons are important, but I believe that getting…
image from washingtonmonthly.com When I was in college I remember hearing one sentence during a sermon, that totally changed the way I viewed people. That sentence was, “hurting people, hurt others”. Those four little worlds completely blew my mind. From that moment on I chose to make a conscious decision to keep those four words…
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…
