Who is this person?
I am a 27 year teaching veteran and the Director of K-12 Initiatives for a non-profit learning and technologies company. I am in charge of TeachersFirst.com, a free, ad-free teacher resource site in its twelfth year of continuous service to teachers and students around the world.
I am a teacher, first and always. Thus the title of my blog.

Candy, I voice from your past??? I miss you…I lost your home address and e-mail, but think of you often and all we shared. I learned SO MUCH from you! I retired this year and it does feel a little strange…but after 36 years I was ready. I miss the students SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much, but have been remodeling and traveling and starting to paint again. How are Kip and Erin and your grandchild? I searched the web to find you and found this awesome blog site. I hope you will respond so we can reconnect:) Shuey

I am writing you an email right now! Hooray for teachers who know where and how to look for what they want on the web.

ANother voice from the past. I found you after seeing your name on Scott McLeod’s blog. I didn’t know you had a blog. I’ll have to start following, now. If Scott says he likes your writing style then it MUST be good.

Sorry I was so unresponsive in approving your comment, Jim –had a BIG event in our family this past weekend and actually stayed off my computer for nearly 96 hours straight. An odd experience, indeed. F2F people still rank #1.

I’m a second year teacher and I’m found a wealth of information on this blog. I’m still intimidated with navigating but getting more comfortable.
I was wondering how many middle school technology teachers teach internet security. I think this extremely important for students to understand there is something such as cyberspace bullying.
