New Year, New Goals, Updated Blog

As we grow closer and closer to Winter Break, I feel it is time to update and refresh this blog.  This blog will be completely freshened up with a new look and a new name and a new focus.  When I initially started this blog, the intention was to provide resources for the teachers in The Kenton County School District in Northern Kentucky.  Over the past 3 1/2 years, I have seen an increase of hits from folks all over the globe. I'm therefore going to change the focus of this blog from a local focus to the worldwide focus that it needs.

From my standpoint, this is going to require a name change for the blog.  However, I'm struggling to come up with a "clever" and memorable name for the blog, so I'm asking for your help.  If you have a suggestion for the new name of this blog I'd love to hear it!  I'm trying to incorporate some of the following words into the blog, but I'm not limited to these words: Ed, Technology Integration, & K-12 Education.  Unfortunately I don't have anything I can offer as a prize for the winner with the exception of my undying gratitude and collegial friendship.

I'm a big fan of Richard Byrne and his Free Technology for Teachers blog, and I wouldn't presume to duplicate what he has already created and mastered.  Instead, I want to create a conversation around how technology impacts education, how we can better use the tools we already have, and get discussion from everyday educators as to how they're using technology in the classroom.

So there you have it.  Let me hear your naming suggestions for the blog, and beginning January 2, 2013, let's really get a conversation rolling.
