My brain is fried. I feel like I'm getting into the groove of things here and there, but my brain is on overwork, overflow, and it is overcooked. I just got back from a technology conference, CUE, in Palm Springs. I look forward to this conference, especially after my first experience last year. Aside from it keeping me away from LA for a couple of days, I get some really amazing ideas from the conference. However, it takes some time to process all of the information that has been presented, so there is where some of the overflow comes from. I did, however, have some teacher rockstar moments. Scroll below:
Second row hearing keynote speaker Lavar Burton
(If unfamiliar, from Reading Rainbow, Star Trek, and Roots)
Being front and center hearing keynote speaker Sal Khan (founder of Khan Academy)
An icon in education technology
Fellow teacher Laura and I were stoked to meet Sal Khan before his amazing speech
Other things contributing to the frying pan? I just recently turned in my clear credential portfolio. Two years worth of work are out of my hands and we shall see how it goes after the review. That was a major hot oil fryer.
Aside from recent news, news that always leaves things in the air, it's a bit frying as well. There are also other endeavors I'd like to partake in, which I'm sure will leave me well done. Well enough cooking, my fried brain has a lot of sleep to catch up on.
