February+2014

28 Days Later (and nothing to do with zombies)
While I am not living my life in point form, the days rocket by quickly and catching it in a post is tough. Full time Dad, full time student, full time teacher. Fortunately I'm healthy and so far I am hitting the deadlines that are both created and imposed. Life is filled with a variety of Education related activities and events, many of which have to do with technlogy in education. I was fortunate to be able to take in a Manitoba Education Research Network (MERN) forum, and present at Byte, and as part of a panel at Brandon University.

Within the Louis Riel School Division I took part in the Dakota Collegiate Open House, and contributed to developing a Professional Learning Network with teachers from five high schools in our division. Our focus is on learning in the digital age, and how we are changing and being changed as well. For such a short month it certainly was full! While the point-form below is sub-standard I think I'd rather have it here than not. If anything, the pace of life is making me crave time for a bit of reflection, a time to sit and think about everything swirling about, aroud and through me.

Zombies tend to move slow, are generally thoughtless, and dead. The 28 days of February moved quickly, were thought-filled, and reminded me about how alive I am right now.
