It's 2000, I'm sitting in my parent's walk-in closet in our tiny apartment, where we kept the computer. I start up the computer and hear, Pshhhkkkkkkrrrrkakingkakingkakingtshchchchchchchchcch*ding*ding*ding* (I've included a youtube video if you need a reminder on what dial-up sounds like).
The internet was just emerging! I felt like the luckiest person to have internet in my house. I don't remember doing much with it, but I do remember that sound and the simple appearance. Just to think that it was Web 1.0 that I was experiencing. Now I get to experience Web 2.0 and even Web 3.0! As much as it is great to experience Web 3.0, I would like Facebook to stop promoting items I don't need... But wait maybe that's Web 4.0? Before I give myself a headache, maybe I'll just stick to trying to understand Web 2.0 before I get into the others.
Saturday night... here I am writing my second blog post of the week. Everyone in my house is already sleeping soundly in their beds. This blog post is the only thing standing in my way of that... Tonight I read through, "Categorising teachers’ use of social media for their professional learning: A self-generating professional learning paradigm" To learn a little bit more about how teachers are using social media for their professional learning.

The article suggests all the following social networking sites, " Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, TeachersPayTeachers, Twitter, Google Plus provide environments to profile oneself and one's professional life, to express ideas, to share resources, and to connect with coll...
This week I attended a professional development workshop on The 4 Disciplines of Execution. While I sat in this workshop I immediately thought about this course. Before I get started on why EME6414 came to mind, let me give you a quick overview of what The 4 Disciplines of Execution are. Overview: It's basically promised that if you can adopt the 4 disciplines then you can produce breakthrough results! Discipline 1: Focus on the Wildly Important Goal (WIG) Discipline 2: Act on Lead Measures Discipline 3: Keep a Compelling Scoreboard (this is where it's going to all make sense). Discipline 4: Create a cadence of accountability In the workshop, they talked about the whirlwind. In the whirlwind, there is a lot of stuff going on, but not everything is important. This is where the WIG comes in. Finding your FOCUS. In order to do things well, you need to focus on two important tasks at a time. They shared this example. If Jimmy wants to learn how to tie his shoe, we need to create...
I was very excited to hear Apple's ISO 16 Beta public was released. It is currently being downloaded to my phone as I type this. I love being able to test out the software when it comes out. You get to see everything and figure out how to use it before everyone else gets the update. There are some pretty cool features I'm excited to try out! Here are a few features I'm excited about: 1. Being able to edit a text message after it has been sent. Days of hillo. I meant *hello are gone. 2. Customizable lock screen. No more creating shortcuts and wigdets for me to make my iPhone ascetically pleasing. It will be built in! 3. Multiple stops in Map. Side note why is this now I thing? But I'm excited about it! Now I can find the quickest route without trying to figure it out for myself 4. Notes. I love the notes app and they said there will be improvements there.
