What I find I am missing the most are the conversations and meeting with far flung friends. I can't keep up on Twitter as the tweets fly by, but do the best I can. It is not the same as being there. For sessions though, it is a little easier. Each half day, I am going through the program and picking out sessions I might have liked to http://theeducationalmac.blogspot.com/2013/06/my-virtual-iste13-experience.html0kdumont@mac.com (Kelly Dumont)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10571116.post-5776083763215035449Sat, 05 Jan 2013 05:48:00 +00002013-01-04T22:56:19.935-07:00The white car on the left in the first image is the car I have been driving for the past 17 years. It is a 1995 Toyota Tercel. The gash (or scratch as my daughter initial described it) has been a part of the car for about 9 years. It has 243,000+ miles of which I have put on about 200,000 of them. It has been a great, fuel efficient car, but all good things must come to an end.

I spent the morning getting the deal for the new car finalized (more on that tomorrow). It was nice to get back into the saddle slowly. On Wednesdays, I spend the afternoon with Crescent Elementary. I am helping the student council produce a weekly news broadcast. It is a lot of fun. Today we started using the iPad http://theeducationalmac.blogspot.com/2013/01/i-been-working-on-not-railroad.html0kdumont@mac.com (Kelly Dumont)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10571116.post-4064564398842353478Tue, 01 Jan 2013 19:27:00 +00002013-01-01T12:27:10.806-07:00iOsiPad So I got an iPad Mini for Christmas. It has quickly become my go to device as I suspected it would. It has replaced my iPad in almost every use. The big test will come this week as I go back to work (Winter break has been terrific, but time to go back). It will be interesting to see if I use it at work as much as I have at home this last week.http://theeducationalmac.blogspot.com/2013/01/ipad-mini.html2kdumont@mac.com (Kelly Dumont)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10571116.post-4728122749065759235Tue, 01 Jan 2013 19:20:00 +00002013-01-01T13:46:33.344-07:00#education #newyear #goalsetting There I said it, I really hate resolutions, at least New Year's resolutions. That is probably because I have always sucked at them. I do however, believe in goals. It has been awhile since I have set some personal goals, but I am doing it this year. One of the problems I have with goals is that I haven't kept them in my face to remind myself.

Our OTS provides 20 minutes sessions that are held in the vendor area. So all of my presentations are OTS sessions this year. My first session on Friday is The Portable Studio in which I will talk about creating photography and video setup that is portable and usable. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1704555/ThePortableStudio.pdf My second session http://theeducationalmac.blogspot.com/2012/03/ucet-presentations-2012.html0kdumont@mac.com (Kelly Dumont)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10571116.post-7742079726246485172Sun, 26 Feb 2012 23:59:00 +00002012-02-26T17:13:37.157-07:00 (Originally posted on EdReach.us)  In the Apple world there have been and will be some fairly major announcements. Some like Mountain Lion were announced last week. Others like the iPad 3, will be forthcoming in the next few weeks or months. Some I am hoping for may not be coming at all. The next few months will tell.  So, what do we know? Last week Apple announced the next http://theeducationalmac.blogspot.com/2012/02/apple-on-horizon.html0kdumont@mac.com (Kelly Dumont)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10571116.post-5241306522388133959Tue, 24 Jan 2012 15:50:00 +00002012-01-24T08:50:00.418-07:00I offered my opinions on last week's Apple Education announcement on the Macreach podcast. Although I felt the things announced were okay, I saw a lot of holes that needed to be filled. The big thing that I missed was something that was not explicitly stated during the announcement. It was hinted at, but not a lot of detail was given.  That thing was the change in how content can be http://theeducationalmac.blogspot.com/2012/01/one-more-thing-one-more-really-big.html0kdumont@mac.com (Kelly Dumont)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10571116.post-7911889595048023918Thu, 15 Dec 2011 19:21:00 +00002011-12-15T12:21:39.601-07:00It was really fun watching these guys and gals work on their films today.

On the plus side it is so good to get together with the team each week and to talk about what is going on. On the minus side, we are all so fried by Thursday that we don't have the energy that I would like to see us have at our meetings. I don't have a solution, but I still enjoy http://theeducationalmac.blogspot.com/2011/09/92211-meeting-demand.html0kdumont@mac.com (Kelly Dumont)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10571116.post-8703446611368484738Wed, 21 Sep 2011 21:57:00 +00002011-09-21T14:57:42.203-07:00Well this daily posting thing is going swell, isn't it. The title pretty much spells it out. But I am determined to get this done as often as possible.  This has been a great week. All week I have had teachers seek me out for things beyond "it doesn't work." A lot of "how can I do this?..."

As a small update, his car was found about 20 miles from his home on Saturday, but still no sign of David. We still have hope that he will be found safe.  On Saturday, my daughter and my brother and one of his son-in-laws drove down to Cedar City to help http://theeducationalmac.blogspot.com/2011/09/91211-of-long-times-and-shortcomings.html0kdumont@mac.com (Kelly Dumont)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10571116.post-8984583717766644628Fri, 09 Sep 2011 15:50:00 +00002011-09-09T08:54:57.992-07:00 Friends, I've never done anything like this, but would appreciate any help you can give in getting the word out.

It makes it nice to spend the afternoon then the next morning at a school. It feels like there is a little more continuity. I checked in on a couple of the teachers that were unable to attend the iPad session we did last night. They are set up with email and ready to go.
