January+2011

Already the 21st of January, 2011.
I think that March is supposed to come in like a lion or a lamb, but for me, January 2011 has certainly come in like a lion. The temperature in Winnipeg has hovered around -20 C for the last week or so, and I have been very busy with family responsibilities- aging relatives who need help moving, hospital issues in two Provinces, and a young family here to tend to and grow. A month of focus on Provincial exams (Grade 12 English) has also dulled the blade a bit when it comes to my attention to all things 21st Century Learning. The exam is outcomes based, and I think it is actually an ok assessment tool, but it just takes time away from the other things, like this wiki. And it takes time away from committee work too. Sigh. SO much to do. You'd think that after writing about "time" this summer that I would have learned more about it. All I know is that it keeps on ticking.
