As mentioned in my previous post, I was lucky to be in a meeting facilitated by Rick Schwier today. This wasn’t just because Rick, being one of the most positive people I know, is always a great person to be around. The meeting involved educators of all levels within my school division (well – not [...]

A gathering of educators
2009/09/30Week without Twitter – Day 3
2009/09/30This third twitterless day was tough, I’ll have to admit. I was lucky enough to be in a policy development meeting facilitated by Rick Schwier.
