how bloging and twitteringchanged my life

Lonely in a friendly and awesome department.

Standards Based Grading. Reoriented my thinking.

New set of colleagues all around the United States (and, in fact, the world) – TMC.

What I do inside my classroom can have an impact outside my classroom. And similarly, the things other people do inside their classrooms have an impact on mine.

Feeling sucky at teaching. Being sucky at what I do. Inspired and pushed to be less sucky.

For the remaining time, play around on the site below. You can see who we are, some cool things we’ve done together, and read about getting started with blogging and twittering.

I’d love to get you started with a google reader. If you want to set that up now and add a few people to it, let me know and I can help you.
