No rest for the retired!

I have officially been retired for three weeks now and had hoped to "catch up" and organize before starting a very hectic July (NECC in San Diego, DEN national gathering near DC and Berlin to Prague on a global awareness trip with Apple's Distingished Educators). However, I got invited to lurk at the Midwest DEN Regional Institute these last 5 days and couldn't pass up a chance to learn and share and show off Chicago to 50 some enthusiastic multimedia maniacs. Kudos to Discovery Education for not only underwriting a great group learning experience, but also for hiring educators as field managers. They get it and they know what a classroom teacher needs and can use. And Chicago couldn't have been a better host: the weather (in spite of a daily dousing), the location (1 block south of the Loop on State St.), the food (barbecue, deep dish pizza, soul food and blues), and Navy Pier with a cruise!!! Plus it was all topped off by everyone's digital stories. And with just an extra hour on Sunday night Dick, Hall and I might have been able to straighten out the nation...
