Okay, so it’s been a while since I blogged on MACULspace, but I have been blogging (check out OneThingMichigan.blogspot.com). But I discovered this very cool feature on the web with which all my ed techie friends would agree (and probably already know about it).

FIRST Robotics Competition (Bad Picture ... Awesome Ed Tech Event)
Last Saturday, my daughter Jaci and I had the privilege of attending the FIRST Robotics Great Lakes Regional competition at the Eastern Michigan Convocational Center as guests of Team Rush (Clarkston FIRST team).This is a picture of Kyle Hughes (teacher/captain), Jaci, and me. Jaci and Kyle are always photogenic; me, not so much ...
We toured the pits and watched… Continue

COSN: when a conference is really a conversation …
It was a little hard to follow up MACUL 2008 with CoSN 2008, but that’s what happened. To be honest, I wasn’t enthusiastic about doing MACUL then CoSN back-to-back because it’s smaller than MACUL and counts as “1” in terms of the limited out of state trips that I can take this year.

It's also nice to see someone else who has lost the top of thier head - LOL. We're a select group, you know...

Don't forget Family Fun Fest is July 3-4 in good ol' Hesperia!
Yes, NECC was a great conference! I'm still processing the skills and info I picked up there and trying to share the best pieces.

Yes, I am still pretty "geeked" as they say. It was a bit overwhelming, but I am now sold on NECC. Even my husband (he flew in just for the award ceremony) said to me when I got home that he thinks I need to definitely go to San Antonio next year as he felt I was with "my people." :-)
I have not yet contacted Bernice Stafford, but will do that Monday. Please remind me...when we spoke you also mentioned someone else you thought I should contact. Was it Barb Fardell? I would love to to do some consulting and if you know of any avenues for my work, I would really appreciate your input. Thanks Bruce!

Yes, we have a conference call this afternoon. I'll get back to you after our conversation and let you know the status. Thanks for your help!
