Wow, it has been awhile!  As I mentioned in my last post (6 months ago), I was appointed to my first principalship this past summer.  I never intended to abandon my blog, but it has been a bit busy!  I would like to say one of my New Year resolutions was to start posting again, but I just happened to think about while working on my computer tonight!

My first year has been wonderful.  I am truly fortunate to be at a great school.  The students are great and we have a top notch faculty and staff.  I see great things in our classrooms each and every day.  I am excited as we move into the future.

I have not totally ignored web 2.0 since this past summer.  I created a school blog, which I post podcasts to every two weeks or so.  I have found it to be a great way to stay connected to parents.  Of course, not all of our parents have access, but we have to start somewhere!  If you would like to take a look it is located at:

A few teachers have joined the Web 2.0 community as well.  Our media specialist is truly a MEDIA specialist.  She has a library blog, book talk blog and hosts a weekly podcast with students.  I also have another teacher who produced podcasts with her students and 2 teachers with their own blogs.  Our school also has an I.B. blog as we are an I.B. school. 

The technology integration does not end there as we have classes making videos with movie maker.  We are truly making a great attempt to infuse technology with the ultimate goal of student learning!

I  am sure I lot most of my readers (all 4 or 5 of them!) with this long hiatus, but I plan to begin posting on a regular basis again.  I hope to see you all back!
