I was asked in May if I would be available to keynote the Microsoft Innovative Educator Expert summit in Auckland, New Zealand this July. At first, we weren’t sure about me going because there was a lot going on that weekend: JT had a baseball tournament and a birthday, and we were supposed to beContinue reading “Becky goes to New Zealand”

ISTE 2018 Chicago
I spent six days away from home last week attending the annual ISTE conference, this year held in Chicago. This is my fifth ISTE conference and it never ceases to amaze. A record-breaking 23,000 people attended this year! We arrived on Friday night and got settled – late due to weather delays all around theContinue reading “ISTE 2018 Chicago”
California Trip 2018
We took a long weekend trip to California because our niece Madi was graduating college and we thought we would extend the time there with some more fun. My mom decided to come with us and enjoy a vacation too, since she has wanted to go to Disneyland with her grandchildren for about 22 yearsContinue reading “California Trip 2018”
E2 Singapore
I got a little behind on posting… probably because I have been gone so much in the past three weeks. Three weeks ago, I took a day trip to LA for work. Then on March 9, I left for an eight-day trip to Singapore for my favorite event of the year, E2. It’s when 300+Continue reading “E2 Singapore”

Quick Trip to Florida
I get to travel less and less nowadays, but occasionally someone asks me to do a certain type of event that we can’t send anyone else to do. This was one of those times, and it ended up that I would be in Sarasota, Florida. So Sunday I flew to Tampa and had a lovelyContinue reading “Quick Trip to Florida”
E2 2017 Toronto
Last week, I attended the E2 (Educator Exchange) for Microsoft in Education. It’s my fourth year in a row attending, and this year it was in Toronto, Canada. It was actually going to be in Seoul, Korea, until about January when Microsoft Global Security pulled the event based on the political situation in Korea. TorontoContinue reading “E2 2017 Toronto”
