Yesterday I had the opportunity to visit with Joe Luft and the students and staff of Brooklyn International High School. Will Richardson also was there and we got to spend most of the day in Joe's classroom. As Joe has mentioned, it was interesting to share common issues and also unique situations.

Am heading back to Portland this afternoon. The visits to Providence and Brooklyn have been a great opportunity to think about schools as I begin to move back to a building after a few years in a central support role and also as I finish up this year on leave.

I really appreciate the opportunity to be able to visit with folks like Tom Hoffman, Joe Luft and Will Richardson,and am looking forward to seeing Will at NECC and meeting up with other educators utilizing technology in their classrooms.
