I have been so lame about blogging, that I just got off the couch and decided to write something, anything just to get myself going again. Here are a few things that are going on with me these days.
1. School just started and I am once again teaching digital journalism. So far it is going well (we've only had two classes). Two new things I'm doing - starting each class with 8 minutes of writing and planning to do more actual journalism (not just learning about it, but doing it).
2. I'm heading to Shanghai on Sept 11th for a week to facilitate a strand of the Learning 2.01o conference. My cohort will be looking at social media in education. I'm really looking forward to it, but I'm also a little nervous. I'm really not a world traveler. I've never been to Asia. This should be a really interesting and challenging experience.
3. I was recently elected to the MassCUE board. The annual conference is fast approaching and I'm looking forward to attending with a different perspective. I'm also looking forward to being a part of this organization.
OK - It isn't a fancy post. No images or big messages, but at least I got something out there.
It is great to be in a profession that offers so many fresh starts. May we all have one this year!

Welcome back to the blogosphere. I am replying while sitting on my couch. Have a safe trip to Shanghai and a good year at Belmont Hill!
Thanks for sharing this, Liz. You have been missed. Good luck in your great adventures, both new and old.
One of the things I love most about teaching is the constant fresh starts. I look forward each year to improving what I did last year. Good luck on your revisions to your journalism class!
