The Never Ending Story

Yep, the title says it all.  Tale as old as time...we don't have any time.  These past two weeks have been intense, and all within a professional sense.  This weekend is the first time in two weeks I got to do things Osc like, well to some degree.  I still had to go to class and grade a huge stack of essays today, and lesson planned last night at Barnes & Noble, but eh, what are you going to do about that? That's life.

Even though I have been feeling a bit overwhelmed and just busy (I'll be using this word a lot in this blog apparently), it has all been for growth.  I enjoyed going to the CUE conference in Palm Springs, and I can't wait to go again next year!  I learned so much and enjoyed the lectures, plus getting swag from different ed tech companies is always a plus ;-)

Unfortunately, I could stay the entire time and had to leave Palm Springs on Friday night because I had to attend another ed tech conference, but this one was at Mt. St. Mary's.  I'm sorry, did I say attend? I meant to say presented at! I presented at an ed tech conference with the topic of social justice (Critical Thinking in Action).  Best part? I got to present with some of my students in order to present the school's iPad program and social justice assignments we have done via those means.  I learned a lot, and although I've spoken at other conference, this LA-wide one was something I'll remember for a long time.  The feedback I have received is also a major plus.

Spring break is around the corner, and I can't wait for it.  Well deserved, I think so at least.
Busy, but good busy. It's a good busy, once you see it in retrospect.  At the time I've honestly thought, "Why am I so tired? .....Oh yeeeeeah."

'Til the next blog.
