Thanks to Skip Z for sharing, here is my Twitter mosaic. I once took the time to print up photos of my Learning Network to make it easier to explain to those who I work with who you all are. This is so much easier. Get your twitter mosaic here.
I am attending EduCon 2.1 and having a great time. My goals for this conference were to deepen the connections I have with members of my learning network and to look for ideas and strategies to facilitate changes and growth in the educational environment in my district.

This is not really education or technology related but a lot of members of the eduverse have been supporting each other in becoming more fit.

The Eddies began 5 years ago and though there has been some dissension about the merit of these awards I enjoy them. They have helped me find new voices and expand my learning network. I also believe that they allow edubloggers to say thank you and recognize their fellow edubloggers. To that end I would…
