I went to London last week for work, to BETT (British Educational Training and Technology Show). It is one of the largest edtech conferences in the world, and I’ve wanted to go for years. I was super excited that I had a reason to go this year! I left Monday, landed Tuesday, and returned FridayContinue reading “BETT UK 2019”

A Conference in San Diego
This trip was for Jim’s work! Jim attends an annual conference that was in San Diego this year, and a lot of the wives go along on this trip. He asked me maybe a year ago if I would join him on this one, and of course I said yes. It was five whole daysContinue reading “A Conference in San Diego”
More Minecraft
My work recently has revolved quite a bit around Minecraft. I’m enjoying learning more. I’m starting to see lessons for Minecraft pop up in the world around me, and that’s a good thing because I’ll be writing lessons (and managing other writers and world builders) for the next few months… the company I work forContinue reading “More Minecraft”
Day Trip to Reno
I had a client meeting in Reno on Monday, so I flew down in the morning and back in the evening. Our senior manager Jenn met me there, and we did a little team planning as well. Our first task was to find a smoke-free Starbucks. As a Washington girl, this seemed simple. It wasContinue reading “Day Trip to Reno”
86 extra hours
That’s how many overtime hours I accrued in October! It was a busy month. The company I work for launched a new partnership with another company, and I’m in charge of all that entails: training, content, and resources. The owner of the other company was in Seattle for two weeks as part of the ventureContinue reading “86 extra hours”
18,000 Miles
That’s right – in eight days, I traveled 18,000 miles for work! It was a whirlwind of trips to Baltimore, Los Angeles, and Fort Lauderdale to visit school leaders in each system. I help them with their strategic plans to implement professional learning experiences for their teachers for the school year. Then I assign ourContinue reading “18,000 Miles”
Becky goes to New Zealand
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”
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”
A little work trip
This week, I had two meetings for work that needed to be face-to-face instead of over Skype: one in Cherry Creek, Colorado, and the other in Long Beach, California. I was able to schedule them back-to-back to minimize my time away from home, and it was a whirlwind trip! I left late Monday night andContinue reading “A little work trip”
