Did you know that different computer programs often save their files in different formats? Formats that other computer programs can't open or alter. Wouldn't it be great if all computer programs could just talk to each other and read each other's files automatically? Yeah, that...

Andrea Bennett, one of my favorite people, and the Executive Director of CETPA (CA Educational Technology Professionals Association) e-mailed me today asking if I would do her a huge favor and write an article for the OnCUE (Computer Using Educators) magazine on behalf of the CETPA...

I recently had a whale of a time at the Computer Using Educators (CUE) Conference in Palm Springs with 3 collegues of mine. This is a conference I never miss, but it is primarily aimed at classroom teachers, so if I go without taking some teachers along with me, it feels like I'm wasting an...

This may seem like a simple and unimportant subject to write about, but I have to say, I get this question an awful lot these days.

So, I've been accepted as a speaker/presenter at the next CETPA (California Educational Technology Professionals Association) conference in October. To me, this generates excitement, a sense of honor, and naturally, some fear.

It's not necessary for me to write a lot about this at this time. Instead, I'd love it if folks would watch a 20 minute video which pretty much says what needs to be considered by leaders today who make decisions in education.
I believe that the arts have been and continue to be...

I've been reading a number of blogs for quite some time now, so I am certainly not unfamiliar with what it is all about. It took me a while, however, to really care too much about the concept since the first blogs (as far as I could tell) were mostly random rants and updates from people...
