So much happened in the second half of 2017,  I thought I'd catch up in this first post of 2018 and let you all know what I've been up to. It's been a busy fall as I settle into my new role as an an independent consultant. Getting a business up and running is something new for me and I'm happy to report that things are falling into place.  So... what have I been up to you may ask?   Well the real question is, what haven't I been up to?  
First, training and presentations! I had the pleasure of working with John Sowash of Sowash Ventures to provide Google training   for a few schools to start the year. I tagged along with him to   Chandler Park Academy to get the middle school staff up to speed on Chromebooks.   Then it was off to Rochester, NY for a day with the elementary staff at  Manchester-Shortsville.   
I also presented at Bay Arenac ISD's back to school  PD on Google mapping tools (check out  my maps in g-drive!), VR in the classroom, non-boring lectures and formative assessment tools.  Mi Google was my next stop, with a session targeted to ELA teachers. Their favorites?  symbaloo.edu, newsela, and read&write;  all great resources for any content area. Finally keynoting the MANS second annual tech gathering with a great session on empathy and tech integration. 
Second, Internet safety and digital citizenship. I've been working with the team at Protect Young Eyes visiting schools and churches from Grand Rapids, MI to  Dallas, TX sharing an their incredible Internet safety message to kids k-12 and parents. It's been amazing! I'm also pleased to have been the lead curriculum designer for PYE's  newest project, Virtue in Media, a faith-based k-8 digital citizenship curriculum. 
Last but not least, Aquinas College, College of Ed Field Supervisor. I'm just starting my second semester as a student teacher field supervisor. It's  such a privilege to work so closely with pre-service teachers. It's so valuable to see teaching through their eyes and to visit so many classrooms and schools throughout the Grand Rapids area. Not sure who's learning more, them or me!  I've also been invited to present in their seminars on design thinking, tech integration, and Understanding by Design.   
To top it all off,  I've got a couple of proposals out for work this spring and next fall. I'm getting ready to present at the  GVSU Math in Action Conference as well as MACUL and  I've moved a few books from the 'to read' to the  'read that' list. The one that's made the biggest impression on me is Mathematical Mindsets. Look for a complete review in my next post. 
So... here we go 2018 seatbelts fastened! It's going to be a wild ride... :)
