I’m currently enrolled in the Leading Edge Certification for Administrators program. One of my fellow students Burt Lo wrote about the value of an Administrator blogging for his assignment this week. I thought it only fitting to complete my assignment by responding to his post. I think Burt is right on when he says; I’m not convinced…

I sent this out to the Leadership Team in my District. Maybe it will spark some discussions. I was lucky enough to attend the ISTE conference inSan Diego last week.

I am contemplating getting a Mac Mini for my desk when Apple updates the hardware next and a Samsung Series 5 550 Chromebook w/ the iPad for mobile travel purposes. As much as I want another MacBook, I just can’t justify it when all I did was run Chrome on the thing. Of course, $449…

Buyer Beware. That’s the first thought that popped into my head when I saw my previous position at East Side advertised on the Edjoin.org job site. The position pays, $136,404-$141,825, which coming from the central valley, seemed like a lot of money four months ago. In fact it was considerably more than the other offer…

I’m at Berryessa Union School District now and it’s been like night and day. The on-boarding process was incredibly efficient. My new boss threw a bagel and pastry reception the first day to introduce me to the district staff. They got me a plant for my office, which reminds me, I need to remember to water it. My business…
