Friday's pic

This was Friday - on my way to work! Getting much better! Although, I have to admit, I'm sick of wearing a bandage - but I'm not too keen on the idea of a scar either! Friday was a crazy day! Got to work, got busy, and then the tech guys came in to set up my new computer! WOOHOO..... You should see the screen!

Had a work experience luncheon at 1:00, and had to be on the road at 2:30 to make it to Sunnyside High School by 3:30 for a CV CUE Administrators Symposium. It was WELL worth my time! They went over cyber bullying - acceptable use policies (does VCIS have one? ) And then copyright laws.... I got some great resources that I'm going to put on my resource page - if students are going to blog - myspace - and face book- why NOT use it as teachable moments?? I need to look through my notes again, but there is even a site where things are FREE to use - so no more plagerizing! (Guess we all could use a refresher course on plagerism!) CV CUE (Central Valley Computer Using Educators) also provided a very nice dinner. I met some great ladies from Fresno County Office of Ed - and got more resourses! One of the ladies had even recently had Moh's surgery - on her nose, and you really could not tell! That was encouraging!
After dinner, we heard from Antwon Lincholn, the Technology Director at Chula Vista School District. What an incredible speaker he was. We all recieved a copy of his book - Confessions of a Technology Leader. As I was browsing through it, I just happed to land on a chapter that completely resonated with me! About being a technology janitor verses leader.. (although 360 leadership does say that even janitors are leaders if they chose to be - everyone within an organization can lead if they so choose!) Anyway, for anyone interested, there is a web site, I haven't checked it out yet - but it's www.TLConfessions.com
