Welcome....

Since as far back as I can remember, and since I am turning 30 this month that seems like a lot longer than it probably is, I have wanted to teach. The first of 20 or so in my generation, I was somewhat predestined to be a leader. When I realized teaching someone something new not only empowered the other person, but also deeply empowered me, I was hooked. In high school I was a member of a program that partnered special education students with peers to promote success for both and working my summers at sleep away camp for children with disabilities. I took some time off to find myself and begin a family but could not stay away. I am currently working in a school where I plan on making a huge difference.

My struggles are not always unique, they are sometimes emotional, and they are always worth sharing...

BP2 iGoogle Screenshots

As with many areas of my life, I mean well in terms of creating a solid system for organization and then creating a very meaningful plan for maintaining that organization, but all too often somewhere along the way I stray from the path!  As you may or may not know, my Action Research Project (ARP) involves introducing tools to help my student create solid organizational skills and it is no coincidence that I chose this topic.  I am attempting to organize my Personal Learning Environment (PLE) using iGoogle, and here are a few screenshots of the different tabs created to meet the aforementioned intention.   

Here is my Home Tab...


Here is my FSO tab....




and last but not least my AR tab...




So as you can see, I am getting there.  I feel like the unused or underutilized gadgets are similar to the still-packed boxes when you move to a new place.  They are there and full of valuable information, you just haven’t gotten to them quite yet.  Stay with me… I will get there!
