My recent lack of blogging activity has even resulted in a couple of people have inquired as to my health. Truth is, I am fine, just slightly overwhelmed.

There has certainly been no lack of blog fodder, with many ideas flowing through my cranium. It’s just a pure lack of time.

With my day job as busy as ever (just got another allotment of PD days to work with teachers that must be used before March 31) I am also planning for the undergrad educational technology course that I start “teaching” next week (two nites a week, 2 1/2 hours a nite). On top of that I am participating in my district’s Leadership Program (leading to a Principal’s certificate after two years) which demands several modules over the next few months.

Of course, I also would like to remain married.

However, blogging remains a valuable component of my personal learning and professional growth. The reflective nature and conversations provide opportunities to develop a clearer vision of technology in education and our chart for the future.

It’s important that I try and get back on track. Like my snowshoes help me walk on top of the snow with reduced effort, blogging helps me capture, mashup and make ideas and understandings my own.
