Just a quick update to share how excited I am at all the invites I am getting to present, give hands-on workshops, and also to train on the technology I am using to teach my math classes!
I added my speaking/teaching/training events to a calendar on the right side of the page. Check it out!
Just today I set the date with the administration of my college to train them on how to use the Livescribe Pulse smartpen! I better get some of the pens that just arrived ready to use!
I had the pleasure of spending yesterday with my colleagues from the Maricopa Community College District at our annual technology conference. I gave a presentation with another math instructor on how to incorporate technology into our Hybrid courses to enhance the teaching and learning of mathematics. Donna’s introduced the presentation by describing Hybrid models, and gave details on the model she uses at SCC. She then introduced the Livescribe Pulse smartpen, and showed some sample online lessons she has created for her students.
When it was my turn, my main focus was on using technology both during in-class instruction and outside of class to help the students. I also included theLivescribe Pulse smartpen in my part of the presentation, along with the eInstruction Mobi and Workspace software.
If you missed it, my presentation was shown on an earlier post. Here is a link to it
I sat at a table with many of my tech friends. As we looked around we realized we probably had more tech toys at our table than the rest of the room put together! One of them took a pic of SOME of the toys we had:
The really funny thing was there were more cell phones in the pile than people at the table! I’m looking forward to hanging out with my tech friends and colleauges again soon!

I helped a colleague with a Livescribe Pencast she wanted to use for her interview. She had an amazing idea! Read the details in my latest blog for Livescribe:
Welcome to my new “home”
I gave in…I became aware today of the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org
I was using the FREE WordPress.com, but was not able to embed any of the flash based files I wanted to. So I took the plunge over to WordPress.org and got my own domain for a WordPress blog so NOW I can embed Flash!
I am still trying to decide on a theme, because the theme I was using there isn’t available here. I also need to straighten up some of the blog postings that got messed up in the transfer, but I WAS able to go ahead and embed EVERY file I had wanted to earlier, including: Livescribe pencasts, YouTube videos, Prezi presentations, Jing and Camtasia videos! Deep sigh of relief! I hope you will join me on the new site for my blog! I could use some suggestions on the theme, too 🙂
