  Apples? Lemons? Christians?

  Posted on December 5, 2010 by Jason in Thoughts

  Posted on October 21, 2010 by Jason in ESU 10

What were the announcements and what do they mean for education? iLife 11 was up first with a demo of iPhoto, iMovie and Garageband. iWeb and iDVD are still a part of the suite but not demoed. I am little surprised iDVD [...]

  My Top Five and Why: Tech Tools for Teachers

  Posted on September 20, 2010 by Jason in ESU 10, Thoughts

• Building Capacity

  Posted on September 8, 2010 by Jason in ESU 10, Presentations

  In working with Tech Integration Specialists today were talking about how powerful self-discovery is in getting teachers to work with new technologies.

  Posted on September 7, 2010 by Jason in EDU, Thoughts

  Have you ever felt, well, overwhelmed when taking on a new challenge? My degree program requires taking 9 hours on American history and culture.
