In July, I had the amazing opportunity to meet face to face with many of my Online colleagues while attending the Building Learning Communities Conference in Boston. I had met some people at the Educon 2.0 conference in January. It was great to see them again. And, there were many people who I met face to face for the first time. For me, ...

Well, my summer has come and gone. I want to first of all extend my appreciation to all of the bloggers who posted while I was out. I am interested in hearing some impressions of the little experiment from the community here. If you posted something (and even if you didn’t), let me know if [...]

I have recently begun getting emails from various sources asking me for permission to place advertisements or text links on pages of my blog. I made the decision almost a year ago to get rid of most ads (most noteably Google AdWords). I have since had minimal ads on specific pages and that revenue has [...]

We’ll start out by sorting things out a little bit. The articles came in basically three categories: Practice, Practice, and more Practice, ...

If you haven’t been keeping up with the comments on here, shame on you. Fortunately, I have been. Let me fill you in.

If you post Once a week, don’t do more than that. Also don’t do less. Well, it’s summer. I am home a bit more now and actually getting a chance to ...

There come times in life when we need to find something to do. There come times in life when we need a break. There come times in life when we need to cut back some things so we can find that perfect place. This is one of those times for me. With the end of the year approaching, I am so busy with school and concerts and trips and contests and ...

For reasons beyond my control, my blogging time will be extraordinarily limited this week (lots of concerts and exhaustion has begun to catch up on me). For these reasons, I will be putting the Blog Revolution Project on hold for this week. It will presumably resume again on Monday the 19th. Thanks for bearing with me. While you are waiting, I ...
