Life gets in the way.

I am working on a program for tomorrow night and decided I better check out my blog. Wow! I didn't realize it had been so long since I blogged. That is not good. But then I started thinking about everything that has happened since that last blog, and suddenly realized that I let life get in the way. Is that good? I'm not so sure.

We all have become swamped with giant "to-do" lists and full calendars. What happens to all the time? God has bless me with a wonderful, loving family. Have I just become so busy with everything that I am not taking the time to enjoy them the way He intends me to? I'm afraid so. So it is time to check my priorities and turn my attention to those wonderful blessings that stand before me.

Never too old to learn

Well, folks! If you ever want a prime example of someone who proves that you never start learning, just look my way. I am currently attending the ISTE 2010 convention in Denver, CO, and it is awesome. The sessions have really been great and I am fired up to have my students create new digital image and video projects. The vendors in the exhibit hall are extraordinary and have mini-seminars planned that meet a lot of my classroom needs. The networking with other technology teachers from around the world is phenomenal. We have met people from London, France, New York City, New Hampshire, and have even run into home folk from Texas. It has made me realize, more than ever, just how idiotic our federal and state government is in downplaying and cutting budgets for technology. I mean, there are people coming to the United States from all over the world to gain more in technology knowledge. What do we do? Cut it!
