In the spirit of the recent holiday weekend, I wanted to share a few of the things I am thankful for these days: (cross posted at LeaderTalk)

  • The friends and family I have reconnected with via MySpace, Facebook, Geni, and good old fashioned email
  • Wikis that allow me to minimize the email messages I have to sort through when preparing for a meeting
  • Google groups to organize my work with others
  • Edubloggers who keep me current with new technologies and bless me with their thoughts and ideas on how to use them
  • Blogs that let me share my thoughts with the rest of the worlds
  • Digital photo sites so that I share as many photos of my child without feeling guilty about filling up their mailbox quotas
  • Unlimited mail box quotas
  • A school district that lets me be excited about new ways to use technology in the classroom and lets me lead others in how to use technology to transform teaching
