Weeding through my email this morning I happened to notice a familiar name in one of the dozens of listserv digests that I routinely delete each morning. The NTEN digest featured a post by Allyson Kapin on “Tips to Create a Culture of Collaboration and Innovation.” Allyson Kapin is super smart and “culture of collaboration and innovation” is […]

Lest I let the opportunity for the cliched “What am I thankful for” blog post roll by, I am muddling through my post-ASHA convention and now sick stupor to try to write a coherent post about what I’m thankful for. Since lists are easier than prose, I’ll make it easier on all of us and […]

Remember my last post about Klout and privacy issues? Thanks to the fact that my friend Tonia Ries is a  rockstar, the story got picked up by the New York Times, so I will now be able to go down in history–much to my mother’s chagrin–as the mom who helped her 13 year old lie […]
