The first one mentions Maine teachers and technology and what others see from the outside. Check out Chris Lehmann’s blog and the K12 Online Conference where Dean Shareski made the initial observation about the plethora of great teachers in Maine who are pushing hard when it comes to technology in education.

The second is from the ACTEM conference where Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach spoke about the gaps in our learners knowledge and how to address it. I left the conference with her point on my mind and since then I have found that it has influenced decisions that I have made around my teaching. Reading Ben Wildeboer’s post reminded me what was influencing those decisions. It allowed for some reflection on my work and behavior. He clearly gets to Nussubaum-Beach’s point and shares it with all who care to read it. He was not even there but listened to it thanks to Bob Sprankle’s Podcast. That is how this thing works! Enjoy and read blogs for your health!
