Educational Insanity

If you’ve never seen Hall Davidson give a keynote presentation, you’ve really missed out.  He had a few thousand educators rolling on the floor (figuratively, of course).  Very bright, very funny…and inspiring!  I hope that one day I can present as well as he does.

Today, of all things, I learned about the law.  Three years of law school and 5+ years of teaching school law, and I learned that I knew nothing about copyright law.  Well, maybe not nothing.  But, apparently I’m in violation of copyright law by posting the journal articles in my scientifically-based blog post posts.  Should I take them down?  Will the copyright police come after me?  I suppose I could contact the authors and get their permission.  Sheesh.

Tomorrow morning I meet with John Hendron, who, by my account, is a bit of an innovator and leader in ed. tech. in my area.  I look forward to learning from John and then attending some more sessions.

   Jon,

   I spoke to John Hendron after you guys chatted this morning. I sure like what I hear about you. You should connect with the Virginia Association of Secondary School Principals (VASSP)… I just had a mailing about their conference at the end of June and first two days of July… most divisions are represented and it is a great networking meeting. They are calling for proposals and workshops now. You should be there. You should be presenting. I will not be there because I will be at NECC this year.. and maybe you will be too? Anyway… glad you are in the metro area and have some forward thinking ideas for technology leadership in Virginia.
