*Despite her skepticism, I convinced Lynn to open a Twitter account and try out our in-service hashtag. When we sat down to try it all out, Twitter was on the fritz.
*I am usually quite positive and upbeat in this blog, but when I go negative, readership and comments almost always spikes.
*I had my knuckles rapped for NOT notifying the book store that I would NOT be using a book AGAIN this year. (There is a don't-order-a-book form?).
* Our ADE summer institute project group had chemistry problems, particularly with a bossy, tone-deaf member. We also jumped at solutions too quickly, which created misunderstandings. I'm seeing the same thing dynamics in my student groups.
*Generally, I get more face-to-face comments about my blog than online commentary.
*I stood on my head making it possible for my AP students to conveniently order the ebook version of our text for half price. I believe four of twenty-eight did so.
* After my ten minute presentation on Parent Night, one mom went off on me, saying her daughter could not learn without a book. She could not give me an idea of what a book might have that my online resources lacked. When I suggested that she just print all the stuff out and bind it, she stormed out. (Made sense to me).
*My friend, Ann, almost always sees the the weaknesses in technology schemes, yet she is the most likely person I know to try them out.
*I asked my Apple EDE if she had any knick-knacks I could give out at my in-service. Yes-- ink pens!
* And speaking of the in-service Kathy assured my at Curriculum Council that of the four presentations I will be giving over the next three weeks, the staff at my own school will be the toughest audience. (oh, joy).

I suppose it's because I see strengths in technology schemes, too! (Assuming you meant me). :)
I surely did mean you, Ann. Your reservations challenge and your innovations inspire.
