Don't get me wrong, I can be pretty frivolous, but I prefer thinking in the long run. It'll get you farther. Chet, thank you.

I appreciate your reflection for its honesty and for representin' those of us in the trenches. You've said a lot so I'll just echo the first part of your post...Many tech teachers I see in my district, for example, do not have down their content knowledge or teaching pedagogy down. You're right that we need to be honing our general teaching skills as well as tech savviness. I also agree that although I find a lot of the blogging theorists interesting they're not writing in a place where the average teacher lives. I concur with Kevin.

(Gail D is the other blogger whose reflections have been on my reading list). I love the comment that you are an ambassador for your kids and that this is a place to gather tools and ideas. And, I like that you admit that your reflection process is still ongoing and still settling in. Your honesty and evaluation is helpful to those of us who read this blog and others.
