January 2007

I logged on to Continental and got a flight. I'll be arriving in Boston, the evening of March 9, and leaving March 17 in the morning. I haven't yet done the visa stuff.

I was invited by our friends at Intel to attend the Intel Education International Roundtable in Portland, OR, the first week of March. They are making the travel arrangements for me, and I asked my boss to give me a week to visit Boston after the roundtable (I didn't take any vacation in December-January). She generously agreed, so I'll hopefully be visiting from March 9-16. I'm excited about seeing friends again, visiting the Ed. school, and so many other things. Too bad FiedApplePie is no longer there. I'd love to see her, the Red Haired Girl and the new dog.

A pesar de las siempre creativas sugerencias de archibaldo y el acuerdo con Jacinto, mi poca imaginación me ha llevado a llamar el nuevo blog edgeek.

Soy poco imaginativo. Para separar lo personal de mis intereses académico-profesionales he creado un nuevo blog y lo he llamado edgeek. Lo encuentran en www.fernandodiazdelcastillo.com/edgeek/.

En EdGeek encontrarán todo lo que aquí aparece bajo la categoría educación y todo lo que en un futuro escriba sobre educación, tecnología o ambas. Dejaré aquí lo que fue parte de vita-cora, pero lo copio también para poblar EdGeek con lo que le atañe.

I'm not a good blogger.  A good blogger writes daily or close to that. At least once a week. I come and go, posting a lot sometimes, and disappearing for weeks. However I do try to blog, and have made a decision. It probably won't make me a better blogger, but I'm gonna split up my blog into two different ones. Vita-cora (this one) will continue as my personal blog, and I'll install another for everything that would fall under education. I still don't know what I'm gonna call that blog, but I'll get onto it soon. I'll start moving old posts as soon as I get it installed.

Luis hizo la primera entrada de su blog. Felicitaciones.

My own habits make me think we should be trying to give every teacher a laptop computer if we want them to appropriate and use computers in the classroom and their daily life.

Now that my IBM is broken and I'm using the old Compaq I've realized (duh!) how important it is to have a computer you're comofortable and happy with... I have also learned some more about using Ubuntu and it's great, but using a computer I don't really like makes a big difference. I use it a lot less.
