My blog: rebooted

This isn’t one of those “I know I haven’t been blogging much lately, but I promise to do better from now on” kinds of posts, even though I haven’t been blogging much lately and I promise to do better from now on. Frankly, I’m not sure what this post is about other than to say that it’s been a long time coming.

My first blog post was on September 4th, 2003, which simply blows my mind. At that time I was fresh out of the classroom and only weeks into a new job in a new school district. My blog was originally conceived as a place to post tech integration ideas for the teachers in my new school district. The very next day I had a comment from someone I’d never met, and I was hooked. Like everyone else I went through periods of frequent postings and relative droughts, but the next three years were definitely my most productive as a blog author.

As my career has transitioned to a couple different administrative roles, my blogging has slowed to a trickle. I realize now that my blog never changed with me. I’ve been trying to write the same stuff as I did when I was coaching teachers to integrate technology, and it’s just not working. Time to reboot.

I’ve been thinking a lot about innovation and creativity lately, and I feel like blogging about that for a while. Maybe someone else will find it interesting too. I’ll probably mix in some personal technology stuff too. Stay tuned.
