Writing is Thinking

As one of my good friends often says, writing is thinking. I'll not explain, google it if you want to know more. My point, instead, is this: I haven't had any time to write and haven't had any time to think.

I set up this blog in the summer when I had a little extra time. My intention was to help drive my thinking about educational technology as I went through the school year. All of that intention was blown away within the first week of school. Before the students even showed up.

There is too much going on here at our high school. Too many directions. Too many agendas. Too many solutions. Every teacher seems to agree on this fact, but that doesn't seem to matter.

The good news is that I haven't heard talk of technology or twenty-first century skills all year. Or wait, isn't that the bad news?

Time to sit and think about this for a minute.
