On the road again...

At the Effective Schools Program we ae in the process of designing some new trainings. I thought it would be a good idea to use blogs, podcasts, and links to resources for my training. It's a similar concept to Marci's "toolbox" that was discussed at crew. One of the podcasts would include a podcast on centers. So, I am looking to get back out to the school next week (keep your fingers crossed that it happnes). Lots of ideas just don't always have the opportunity to get out on the road and do what needs to be done. I would like to learn how to actually create the podcast. Can we have a training on that? Until the next posting, happy blogging!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

With the new year comes new challenges. It seems as though that every time I think I am taking two steps forward I feel like I am actaully taking two steps back. I went to Plantation HS before break and took some incredible video footage of the centers. I interviewed the C-NET coach, the teacher, and 2 students. It was great! I was having a difficult time getting the video to download and it turns out the computer would not recognize the camera. Randee was kind enough to take the tape and see if he could get it to work on his own personal computer. Turns out the tape was scrambled. WHAT A MESS! Tomorrow Randee and I will be sitting down toegtether to see if we can get the tape working. Keep your fingers, eyes, and toes crossed. He is also going to be teaching me how to create a blog. That has been frustrating. I wish I was able to attend more of the ebolt trainings. It seems that I am always training when they are going on. Well, it's been a slow boat to nowhere but hopefully soon the boat will meet it's final destination.
