My New Blog Home

I have been longing for a Wordpress blog now for a while and I stumbled upon a tutorial that guided you through registering a free domain and using a free hosting site, that link is here:http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-build-a-self-hosted-wordpress-blog-for-free .  So after much messing around with this and teaching myself how to use Wordpress via FTP I have finally done it!  So my blog is moving to the following address:

http://mratkinson.co.cc

Come and join me in as I explore using technology to teach, learn, and lead!

Google Teacher Academy!

I am pleased to announce that I have been selected to be a part of the Google teacher academy! I am so excited for this amazing opportunity, and feel blessed and honored to be only one of 50 educators chosen this year.  I will travel to Boulder, Colorado August 5th for the workshop.  Check out some of the cool stuff that will be a part of the experience! 

Here is my one minute video I had to produce as a part of my applications :)

I look forward to sharing the cool stuff I get to learn!

I Wasn’t @ NECC, but…

Due to the recent birth of our soon, the pinch in the economy, and my desire for an Iphone 3Gs and a Mac Book Pro I decided to skip out on NECC this year.   So, I wasn’t at NECC but, it sure felt like I was at times!  I was able to connect to the experience through the thousands of shares on Twitter (#NECC09), the live streaming of presentations through ISTE connects and NECC unplugged.  A huge thanks to all of you who went and shared, I am sure hoping I will be at ISTE 2010 in Denver! 

Here are all of my Diigo bookmarks that I tagged NECC09:
