"We should not judge people by their peak of excellence; but by the distance they have traveled from the point where they started."
-Henry Ward Beecher
I feel like that quote alone sums up my comfortability of creating a blog, and attempting to do a better job of living in the world our students live in every day.  The "peak of excellence" in terms of my technology comfortability hopefully grows each and every day in our move to a 1-1 school district.  With that I would encourage all ELC High School staff to take full advantage of the resources available to you through the districts new 1-1 initiative.  For many of you this is second nature, but for the rest of "us" it may mean getting past your insecurities and comfort level (as I am trying to do in creating this blog)!  In the end you either try and succeed, or try and fail.  The great thing is either way you have grown as a professional.  With a few adjustments, and some help from others it will work the next time you try!  With that I welcome you to jump in on this 1-1 journey, it is moving forward with / but hopefully not without you.  Thank-you for all your efforts and courage in making that big step as an educator!
