I absolutely love blogging! In my personal life its something I carve out a lot of time for but my professional blog has gone by the wayside this year. I have had too many rocks to fit in my jar as a proud Mom of a Varsity Football Player and the mother of a local make up artist and musician and as I have entered into my 40's I am now enjoying our local music scene with my husband of 24 years not leaving a lot of time for me to talk to all of you about the latest technology trends.
However while I am living my life I am using my iPad, my Droid Razr, You Tube, Google Apps etc... so it's always there always going on even when life is too busy to talk about it.
Even in my personal life right now I am converting hundreds of slides to digital images that are easier to manipulate and work with. I have to tell you after filling all of the slide carousels with slides I am now even more amazed at my Grandfather Jerry Durand who was a professional photographer. The patience he took and the time to fill up the slide carousels and regale us with stories and show us his slides is just mind boggling. The pictures he took were just unbelievably up close to wildlife.....in a way my Grandfather was a Marty Stauffer in his own right but I will write more about our process in converting these slides soon!
Technology and talking are both always a part of my life.
So I thought what is new here at Castle Hayne about technology and what I will say is that our students are blogging this year too! I think we are evolving to that point where we no longer talk so much about the gadgets we are using but we are getting to a point in our school where we are naturally using technology as an extension of our classroom and now we are concentrating on sharing what we learned with others.
So don't wonder where I am I am engaged, discovering, stumbling, surfing, tweeting, come join me on the journey! Follow me on twitter @KarenLynnTech.
