Summer Fun

I am excited about the coming summer months. They offer a time for a quieter pace in education. There is a little more time for reflection, experiementation, and planning. So much of our time during the academic year is spent just keeping the ball rolling, that summer time provides for a time to explore.

It is human nature to explore and when we are trying new things and extending our comfort levels, that is when we feel alive and enthusiastic.

Some of my goals for the summer are to:

• explore collaboration tools
• learn more about "virtual instructor-led" learning
• organize my office
• go through literature from previous conferences
• plan for the next release of mClk
• review enrollment data and user feedback

And, for all of those teachers who take the summer off, I hope it is rejuvinating and inspiring!

Here's to a tall glass of lemonade and warm days!
