Now that April 15th is over and we've all paid our taxes, the next big thing on a teachers list is State Testing, April 21st-25. The students have all worked so hard all year learning the ABC's, how to add, subtract, read and write. Now it is their time to shine and show off what they know...

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.
My respect for this organization and its members is...
