Play the Twilight Zone theme.
Today I received two e-mails from two different people. They were next to each other in the list of messages and both had the subject header “2 things”, both spelled the same way. And they both were on an even hour sent six minutes into the hour. On top of that, they weren’t SPAM.
Weird.
Check out this really cool article about one of our students and how he helped his friend complete a triathlon.

I dressed up for a student’s book report today. I think I make a pretty decent Gandalf from The Hobbit.

Check out the table of information here.
It’s interesting to see who has a background in education. I’m glad AZCentral included that. Also, one candidate said that she would visit all schools. Arizona has a lot of schools. That’s an interesting promise. I wonder if she has a killer iPhone app that manages her responsibilities really well, freeing up lots of time. Or an app that makes her teleport – one or the other.
I’ve added some social media buttons to the tops of the articles. I’m testing them out with this article. If you want the code for how to do this, message me on one of the social media sites.
Students, our district will have blocked the buttons but people who aren’t on our network can use the buttons.
The tables we’ll be sitting at don’t have power outlets. No live blog of the event. Check back later tonight for a summary.
This summer I watched part of E3 as well as game seven of the NBA Finals online. The broadcasters for both events used the same liveblogging software: Coverit Live.
Wednesday through Friday of this week I’m going to try and live blog using the software. It helps me stay focused and remember what was said (especially for a three day conference) and I’m always surprised about how many educators mention my blog to me in person. Students, it won’t be incredibly exciting, but teachers might benefit from it.
Today is the test run of the event. Below is the Internet equivalent of “Mic check…is this thing on?”
Don’t forget to vote on Tuesday. A lot of big decisions will be made.
