Post ASTE 2010

Alright now that I have overloaded on Tech, I need to do something with it. I mean it is one thing to see the new technology but another to actually use it. So for you that are following my experiences, please guide me if you see me heading for a pitfall and for those of you going through the same experiences please let me know you are there, and for those who learn something, please pass it on.

The main thing I will be doing this week is getting caught up on all the work orders that have piled up with both Greg and I being gone. After I get caught up I want to compile what I learned and present it to both Bill and Bernie (my bosses) and let them know what I have learned and what I would like to pass on to teachers.

The one thing I have learned from ASTE this year is how far behind I am in using Social Networking. My Principal has been pushing PLC (Personal Learning Communities) but I really think he should be pushing is Personal Learning Networks with Social programs like Twitter. I haven't attended ASTE in about 5 years, so I wasn't bored and learned a lot, thank you to any presenters who read this.

Question to the Audience: What is the best way to find people to follow and to gain followers in Twitter? What I am looking for is personal experiences of things that work and pitfalls to avoid.

Goals for this blog: I want to post to this blog at least 3 times a week. I will probably post more than that to start, but eventually I will shoot for 3 times a week.
