So far this summer, which started 3 weeks ago for me: completed work on EdS degree, presented my qualifying paper for my EdD, made a 3-hour presentation at the West Tennessee Writing Project and participated in their Writing Marathon the following week, wrote a letter to the Governor of Tennessee, prepared to attend the International Society for Technology in Education conference next week, made plans for a parent media night next year, began plans for ten-minute technology lessons for teachers for next year, began organizing materials for next year, and then there are the hours I have spent researching on the internet, viewing webinars, and making contacts with educators across the world. (By the way, the coursework and the conference are completely on my own dime. Totally. Every penny.)
All that and THIS is a relatively laid back summer! Summer vacation? BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
