Carlos A.M. Foscolo said… Hi Sandy,
Well, I won't be vainglorious enough to the point of thinking that I had anything to do with that, but I'd like to believe I had: The Lions Club International has launched the Reading Activity Program, which is very similar to the one I've been preaching around here to government officials and teachers.
I'm very glad that I have joined CEET, taken the 4 Ceet Meets and known you. All of this together, mainly being your friend, has been a turning point in my activities as an educator.
Cheers,
Carlos

David Truss said… The webinar was run by Scott McLeod on Adobe Connect which seemed a bit 'clunky' but also looks like it will be a good tool when they get the kinks out. I've got a jam-packed summer ahead and have already had to turn down a presentation with http://reformsymposium.com/ which has me a bit bummed out... so unless this will happen after August 15th, I'm not sure I can commit to anything.
Once I'm back on BC time, I think I'll be able to contribute more meaningfully, but for now it's packing, setting up the new principal for next year, and then my first visit to Europe on the agenda. :-)
