I like following Will Richardson's feed. Feed URL: http://weblogg-ed.com/feed/ I find his perspective if far enough away from mine that it challenges my thinking but is close enough that I don't dismiss it. For me, this chair is just right.

We used Blackboard at Harpeth Hall for two years and dropped it because of the high cost and very poor support. Blackboard was VERY frustrating. We will move our students to Moodle next year. We actually began the move to Moodle with our teachers ...

Hi, Karen, How are you? Are you still at Harpeth Hall? I think I remember that you were going elsewhere for a while.... I am sure that I told you along the way that I left McGehees six years ago when I divorced my husband and moved to the NE to work at GFA. I love it here even though the winters are too cold and too long. We went through two years of huge construction and I have a new library that is fabulous. I remember thinking about you when I was packing up all the books and reorganizing. What about the friend that visited with you - I think she was retiring. Two of the members of my dept. went to the Laptop Institute in Memphis several years ago. Do you ever go to NECC? I'm not going this year but one of my dept. members will be there as well as two people from McGehees. I miss the girls school experience but have to say that I have really enjoyed the boys in a co-ed environment. Keep in touch and let me know if you are ever in this area - I am only an hour from NYC.

I am figuring out this ning. It is blocked for almost everyone. I am working to get it unblocked. I like this ning though.

Thanks Sarah, I agree with you - what I really want to say is that the 1-1 will enhance and improve our already high quality teaching and that it is part of the "life long learner" that is in our mission statement. And then I'm done. However, o...
