Thing 8 Stretch

June 26th, 2008 · No Comments

Well, I went to Wikipedia and searched “Surfing”.  Interesting!  I learned a great deal like I would be considered a soul surfer – doing it for the pleasure of being out there which is great since I am lousy, old, live on the east coast, and truly, almost never get out there anymore.  The article [...]

Thing 8

Wiki, Wiki, on the web, who’s the biggest tech celeb? Ok, weak but I had to start writing somewhere! Hee, hee! I keep seeing Vicki Davis (Westwood Schools, Flat Classroom – both brought me back to her) pop up everywhere and I must say that I can see a wiki in my [...]

Thing 1: Lifelong Learner

June 9th, 2008 · No Comments

In regards to the 71/2 Things, I would have to say that number 71/2 is the most important to me. Play! How else do we truly learn? I can read, listen, take notes, etc, and I will admittedly learn but I know how to learn that way, however…when I play [...]
