As many of you know, I spent part of last school year on sabbatical with a fellowship from the Rowland Foundation (therowlandfoundation.org). As the first year of my Rowland Project wraps up, I created a video to share the work we’ve done. Hope you enjoy! youtu.be/PrRaBIRxx6o

Had a great time in Chicago with great friends at #NNSTOY and the #teachersleading conference!… instagram.com/p/BH4oG3SBErP/

Hey Gary G. Abud, Jr. Sorry I'm late to class...I've got a note!

A1: In my program, STEM means project-based service learning. We design/build Ss projects that benefit school and community. #tpofficehour

Projects include outdoor classroom, a trail network in our school forest, bridges for trails, a sugar house (maple syrup) #tpofficehour

A2: This year, "building" our classroom will include work on our student-designed low ropes course #tpofficehour

A3: Just finished travels to Tahoe and Colorado, then NNSTOY Conf in Chicago. Excited to take our service learning global! #tpofficehour

A4: What is the next #STEM step for our program? Inspired by Michael Soskil (he/his) to develop a global lens for our projects. Could be big! #tpofficehour

A5: New tech for 2016? Sleeping outside with conversations around a campfire. Doesn't sound new to you? It is to your Ss! #tpofficehour

A5b: Appropriate tech integration is about appreciating what it can do for us. We start very low-tech, and build up from there #tpofficehour

A6: My mind is always buzzing with a muddle of ideas. I go for a run, walk, or hike and take notes while I'm "on the road". #tpofficehour

A7: Skype to expose my kids to diff "teachers" around the world. From these interactions, find inspiration for our projects. #tpofficehour

A7: We do a lot of design work with ArcGIS and Sketchup. #tpofficehour

Thanks Gary G. Abud, Jr.! Hope to catch up sometime soon! #tpofficehour
