It is time...

I've been thinking about blogging "for real" for months.  Ideas float in my head, but I have no real audience.  When I attend conferences, I get all "gushy" inside with the technology and its uses in education.  Part of that is because I taught technology in the Business Education classroom for years.  Then I realize my affinity for all things technology and making technology work for me is embedded in my DNA.  My father is an innovator.  He sees a problem, and devises things to make that problem a non-issue.  His work can be seen in buildings all over Kentucky.  My mother's father, my beloved Grandad, was very similar.  A WWII vet, he was a mechanic who "tinkered" with anything and everything.  He was probably one of the few 65 year olds to buy an Atari as soon as they came out.  Were he still alive, he would definitely have an iPad, Wii, smart phone and all the other gadgets.  I think that this spirit has led me to my passion.  So, in addition to workshops, planning conferences, and my own consulting company, I am going to make an honest attempt to blog...and keep my thoughts for educators and all of those that just love technology and the good things it can bring!
