#ITSNewbiechat

Oh my goodness, I just realized that I have had this blog for 2 years!  2 years and almost 100 posts. I have enjoyed reading over my previous post and seeing how my ideas have pretty much stayed the same, but I have grown as an educator.  It was all too perfect that my first blog on here was over Podstock 2011

As I have mentioned before, I am starting a new position next year as an Instructional Technology Specialist. I have run into a couple of twitter friends who are also starting this new position!  Wendy, Syndney, and Jamie and are super exited to start a weekly #ITSnewbiechat

Jamie wrote a great post here Are you new to the Instructional Technology Specialist field?  Are you a veteran ITS willing to share some great ideas and help collaborate?  Hope to see you at our #ITSnewbiechat on Sundays!

Tomorrow starts my first real day as an ITS!  I will be attending leadership training.  At the beginning of every school year I write my own "IEP" of sorts of my goals for the year.  I have several brewing already, but will be putting them paper within the next week!  I do have to say, however, that I did a great job on my goals this summer!  My goal was to pool hop an read books.  This pool from Wal-Mart has been by far my favorite purchase this summer!

perfect way to read books!

Do you set goals for yourself at the beginning of the year?  How have you enjoyed your summer?
