Intel training

It's the end of summer. When I was a kid, summer wasn't over until Labor Day. Now, it's when I go back for training. Last week, Lisa Gearman and I taught a Tech Bytes class. It was fun, but I was still in denial about the start of the school year. This week, it's been the Intel® Teach to the Future class. Setting the alarm clock is agonizing when you've been in summer mode. But four days of talking about learning objectives, backward design, and planning a unit has snapped me back to school mode. These are some very cool tools!

Finally

After many aborted attempts over the past three years, I am finally becoming a blogger. Setting this up gave me pause - am I blogging as a Christian? A quilter? A teacher? I suppose if it's "Jeanne's musings," it will be all those and more. Let the adventure begin!
