I owe so much to my network, yet do not have the time to properly pay them back right now. If it weren’t for my network, I would not have been able to quickly ramp up my Web 2.0 skills, in order to improve my professional experience and prepare for my new position. My network [...]
My little first-grader has to give a presentation this week for her school Biography Day and she isn’t a bit disconcerted. I even asked if she was nervous, though I know I shouldn’t have. I probed some more and discovered why she has no problem with this activity.
No one has told her it is scary [...]
to faculty on your first day of your new job? While not really a predicament, I want to make a statement. Here are the facts:
This is an annual faculty in-service(10/26), so I won’t have the exact opportunity for another year
I will be presenting last and have only 20-30 minutes
Presenters before me will be talking about Pageflakes, [...]
Tonight I am celebrating the power of the network. I just accepted the position as Director of Distance Learning at Bellingham Technical College. I give a huge credit to Twitter and the network it helped me build. These Ed Techies never sleep and are always around to answer questions or shout out [...]

Today I was invited back to the BTC campus for a follow-up interview and tour. During the 90 mile drive to campus, I received a call from Cascadia Community College, where I had applied for a position with the same title. They asked me to do a phone interview on the 19th. [...]
What if we could increase the size of “The Network” ten fold. There are about 100 or so active ed techies in the network putting in more than a full day’s work of discovery every day. That’s certainly not enough people to stimulate change in educating our children or our workforce.
What if, instead [...]
I don’t have much time to write the full story, but I know a lot of people are curious, so I will attempt to describe it quickly and then come back later and update. My interview was from 2:00 to 3:00 PM and I did not know what time my presentation would be delivered. [...]
Not yours, someone else’s. We’re all in a mad dash to create the latest and greatest. Sometimes we stumble right over it and keep on moving, because the thought didn’t come from our own mind. The next time someone approaches you with the early sparks of an idea, indulge them. Give them the momentum they [...]
I don’t know if this has been done before, but I plan to invite “The Network” to a job interview. I will be using Google Docs and Spreadsheets, Presentations to design my presentation and present with attendees in the chat room. I will be interviewing on Friday, October 5th between 2:00 and 3:00 [...]
