I am a teacher, and as part of my dedication to professional development and communication, I try to maintain this blog to share my opinions with others and to do my part to ensure that important topics and and news get some attention. Since I am not always able to post well written blog entries, the most common changes on this blog are the Clipmarks- highlights from important news stories and text from a variety of internet sources. There you will see clips of things I have thought are interesting and important as well as finds other clippers have found. Hope you find something interesting!
