Well it obviously is not blogging. My 2014 blogging was not as much as I would hope for. I have a lot of drafts but not much got published. So here is what I have been doing these past few months, best summed up with a photo of the books I have been reading.
These books show a little of everything that I have been reading. I am trying to slowly learn Java with the hopes that when Laurel and Owen head off to college I can have options if I decide to change careers. So far I like the bonding time with my mentor Justin.
The Colorado hiking season is way too short. So I am trying to dust off my Xc skis to get out on the trails during the winter months. Justin also got me micro spikes for winter hiking- got to try them out today and really liked them.
It is an exciting time to be in education- so many changes. I really like The Third Teacher. It emphasizes the importance of space in education. Reading this book inspired me to change the layout of the library. I am also trying to inspire more students to join the maker movement and become creators rather than consumers. Watch the preview for the maker documentary here.
I also enjoyed reading The Secrets of Happy Families. It was a good book to read around the holidays when the hustle and bustle can make you forget what really matters. Here is a short video of our happy family.
