Me by the Numbers

Years in public ed? 1.

Grant proposals written? 1.

Grant proposals GRANTED? 1!

Class interrupted by administration and foundation with balloons and a big goofy check, during which principal tells me what a big accomplishment this is? Priceless.

V--many thanks! it was for four Flip digital video cameras. i got to spend a couple days at that boothbay retreat with sara kajder, learning all about how to use tech to enhance l.a. curriculum. podcasting/vodcasting, digital storytelling, dramatic interpretations, here we come! i'm SO excited.

r/m-it's a beautiful day when people with lots more money than me spend their money on stuff i ask them to spend it on.

Buffalo is getting into that digital story telling too : he stuck up his middle finger at me so I hit him with my chair...

That does sound exciting. I look forward to hearing more about how you integrate it all into your curriculum. I am going to try podcasting in my classroom for the first time next year. I am sure that I will learn a lot from your posts.
