Living in the Digital World

Lately, I have been spending more and more time in the "digital world".  Our Instructional Technology Specialist, Ann Johnston, has been more than patient with me over the last year.  When she first talked with me about tech tools that I could utilize in my role here at the IU, I told her that I didn't have time to learn all that "techie" stuff.  In November of 2008, I heard Will Richardson speak at the PASCD Annual Conference.  As he shared his passion for all things digital and how to incorporate these tools into the classroom, I started to think more about the digital world.  I started spending more time reading on the web.  Soon, Ann helped me capture feeds onto an iGoogle page and eventually to Twitter!  It was through the awesome educators that I follow on Twitter and the example of colleagues such as Ann and Kelly Pauling, (see Kelly's Curriculum Corner) that I decided to test the waters of blogging.  My hope is to share thoughts in the area of Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment and perhaps serve as a catalyst for your own thinking in this area.  I hope you visit often and share your thoughts as well!
