I could probably sit here all day doing this research. There's just so much out there, and so much I want to learn about my topic. I'm finding that the more I search, they more questions open up and the more I want to know. I think I'm going to need to revisit this morning's loop writing to refocus myself and my search.

I think that's an important point to remember about taking students through the research process - that managing research is a task in itself and in order to make research manag… Continue

Did anyone see Josh Hamilton hit those 28 home runs in the first round of the All-Star Home Run Derby last night? Man ... what a performance!

I'm thinking particularly about the ning here. I'd like to do more thinking about the ways in which I can use a ning in my own workshop series or graduate courses with teachers to build community in a building… Continue

This was so much fun! And it really combines so many different skills. I love that the learning was so layered. First, it's visual; second, there's a writing component; third, it incorporates such an interesting technological program; and fourth, you get the… Continue
