Yes- We have a Snow Day!

Winter Greetings Everyone! Today I am at home with my middle school son because of the inclement weather, and my son has his first snow day. We plan to put up the Christmas tree, do some decorating and do some holiday baking- well at least I plan too. He will probably say "Oh mommmmm... do I have toooo?" and this is where I may use my thinking voice- "Gosh I wish you were a girl right now to enjoy this moment," but will kindly smile at him and say, "Yes, Jacob- I really need your help to put those top decorations on the tree." It always turns out we have the best conversations, wonderful laughs, and I usually find out a little bit more about his teenage life- which is all good to keep me in the loop.

Some interesting baking and cooking sites we will explore today include: Christmas Central, Cookstr, Epicurious, Foodari, Food Blog Search, Food Network, iFoods.TV, Make My Supper, My Flickr Recipes, and Start Cooking. Some of these cooking sites have instructional videos to showcase how to make the perfect holiday goodies. I personally love to cook and bake- and try new recipes all the time to spice things up in our home. The video playback is more for my son- to keep him engaged- but to also reinforce the life long skill of cooking. I personally want to make sure that he is well prepared and skilled in all of the "household responsibility" areas.

SchoolNet South Africa Conference Reflections

Well....I am back, back after being gone for a week of travel and presenting in Bloemfontein, South Africa to present at the national SchoolNet SA Conference. I was thrilled to be asked back for the third time by good friends Gerald Roos and Janet Thomson from School Net.

It is always an adventurous journey to travel to South Africa, as there is no direct flight of how to get there- but the longest part of the journey is the flight from Atlanta, Georgio to Johannesburg, South Africa of 17 hours. The total air travel and airport exchanges take about 24-30 hours one way.  So.... yes I am one tired girl today, but I have a few days to catch up on my sleep and acclimate back to the 7 hour time change.




Upon my arrival to the Bloemfontein, South Africa I was greeted by the most lovely Janet Thomson, Executive Director of SchoolNet, who assisted me with my transportation to the hotel we would be staying at, and to also preview the venue of the conference location. This year's conference wa…

Reenergize and Refocus This Summer- Change Your Mindset!

It has been a whirlwind of a month already and it is only June 3rd. It has been an amazing week working with my Intel family in Phoenix, AZ. The experience to design, create and contribute to the greater good of the future of education has filled my edtech bucket. I am so very thankful and grateful to Vanessa Jones, Theresa Maves, Anne Batey, the entire Big Monocol team and Lars Lindstrom's video crew as a collaborative team we worked on an incredible upcoming video segment to support a game-infused learning series of online coursework. Cannot share any more at this time- but this content will be a game-changer of how we deliver ongoing professional development in the education world. 
Working with inspired educators and incredible talented videographers has truly grounded me again this week, knowing that there are individuals in the edtech industry that constantly give 200%, never complain and contribute to a finalized product that will impact so many in so many countries worldwi…
