I’ve spent the last year co-authoring a book with my colleague Kathi Kersznowski. It’s been a long and wonderful process, a bucket list item, and a fulfilling part time hobby to publish a book! A book birthday is the day the book is released for purchase, and our publisher, Dave Burgess Consulting, Inc Books, plansContinue reading “Book Birthday: Sail the 7 Cs release date”

Ski Weekend in Utah
Jim and I had already planned our annual ski weekend in Utah months before we knew about the Belgium trip, so two and a half days after we got home… we left again. We flew to Salt Lake City Thursday night. On Valentine’s Day, we woke up and drove to Deer Valley. And got thisContinue reading “Ski Weekend in Utah”
Belgium for Two
Sometimes I get requests from educators around the world to come speak at their events. Usually, the budget is too small or the timing doesn’t work out. But occasionally it does, and this February I got a chance to speak at an event in Belgium. I invited Jim along, and he accepted! We stayed mostlyContinue reading “Belgium for Two”
BETT 2020
I had the opportunity to go to London for BETT Conference again this year, and it was certainly a busy week. I presented for Minecraft Education, Microsoft Forms, and ScreenBeam – and I presented at an evening event called Fan Fest at the largest Microsoft store in the world. I met with clients and prospectiveContinue reading “BETT 2020”
Quickest Work Trip Ever
I think I just set a new personal record for the quickest work trip! I left home at 8:15 AM after I put the kids on the bus, got the airport and parked by 9:30, bought a lunch for later, was on the plane by 9:50, and landed in Las Vegas at 12:50 PM. IContinue reading “Quickest Work Trip Ever”
New Zealand* again
I was invited back to New Zealand for a second trip to speak at the 2019 Microsoft Innovative Educator Expert Hui. It’s all the MIEExperts from New Zealand who can make it, plus some Aussies too. It is a great group and such an honor to be invited – back! I flew down on OctoberContinue reading “New Zealand* again”
The Book Contract
Oh my. I signed a contract to write a book, with my co-author Kathi. We posted our announcement on August 1, and got started writing. Eeek! Our book is about the importance of the 7Cs in education: community, collaboration, critical thinking, communication, creativity, computational thinking, and changemaking. For each C, we talk about how toContinue reading “The Book Contract”
ISTE 2019
This is my sixth year in a row attending the biggest edtech conference in the states, and it was certainly my busiest! Philadelphia is a beautiful city, and I saw a little of it as I went in between events, dinners, receptions, meetings, and planning sessions with my team. I presented six times, met withContinue reading “ISTE 2019”
Snohomish Women’s 10k
This weekend, Kristin and Cacee and I finished the Snohomish Women’s 10k run together! We signed up a few months ago and the time flew by. None of us felt like we were completely prepared for the distance – it’s the longest I’ve run since before all my knees issues almost five years ago. InContinue reading “Snohomish Women’s 10k”
Birthday Weekend
Birthday weekend started on Friday, when I got to take my time getting ready for the day while my family scurried about getting ready for school and making my breakfast. Jim made his famous overnight French toast! We also had bacon and a berry bowl, and he made me my over-medium eggs and hot waterContinue reading “Birthday Weekend”
