This post marks my 1000th blog post since I started this journey in 2012! After celebrating my 10th “Blogiversary” I wasn’t sure what my next milestone may be… but then I realized exactly how many posts I’ve published. To celebrate I thought I would summarize my TOP 10 POSTS. These posts represent content that I find exceptionally valuable (meaning I come back to them often or share them with others) and/or those that I invested a lot of work into publishing. I’ve included 5 individual posts and 5 series that I’ve listed in chronological order. Digital Identity: The Big Bad… Read More
10 Year Blogiversary!
In 2012, on the recommendation from a university professor, I started a blog to document my learning journey and connect with other educators. That initial blog post started with, “I will admit that I am not the most tech-savvy person, but it’s a start!”. If there was ever an example of foreshadowing, this introductory sentence would be it. Little did I know that that start would swell to a 900+ post documentation of my journey from, “… not the most tech-savvy person” to the Coordinator of ICT; responsible for the technology programming and purchasing for over 3,000 stakeholders. This journey has been, and continues to be, guided by both an internal motivation to seek out new information as well as… Read More

In January I celebrated my 2-Year Blogiversary with another Mystery Prize Package giveaway, specifically tailored to the winner’s likes and interests! I’ve wanted to share the prize package for a while now and here it is! After emailing back and forth with this year’s winner, Lori, I went shopping!

2 Year Blogiversary Celebration!
I did it! Two full years of blogging under my belt and still going strong 🙂 What started out as my New Years Resolution in 2012 has now become a part of my regular routine and has opened up numerous doors and opportunities that I didn’t even know were possible. Through this blog I’ve developed personally, professionally, and have been able to connect with many amazing educators that I never would have meet if it wasn’t for this platform!

1 Year Blogiversary Winner!
In January I celebrated my 1 Year Blogiversary by hosting a Mystery Prize Package giveaway in which I promised to create a customized prize based on the winner’s interests. Maria from First Grade Carousel was the lucky winner and after some correspondence I went to work on creating her prize package! It took some time to get everything together as I commute to university (which is 2 hours away) and our local post office does not always have international shipping options (benefit of a VERY small town). After some time and commitment, however, the prize package… Read More

1 Year Blogiversary Celebration!
A little more than a year ago I decided that I wanted to begin blogging about what I was learning during my education degree and a few days later I officially launched my first ever blog! One year later I am still blogging regularly and can officially say that I accomplished my 2012 New Year’s Resolution (I don’t think I’ve ever accomplished one before). I saw a lot of people posting their blog stats in their New Year’s posts so I thought it might be interesting to share some of mine. Here are some stats that I feel… Read More
