The Moral of the story is

Life is very busy right now - last semester, interviews, appointments, kids, parent.... you know the drill. So this week I was planning on writing about how hard it is to keep up. I was going to perform my obligatory read through Twitter and catch up on my RSS feeds and then Blah Blah Blah Blah about how hard it is to keep up. But a funny thing happened. As I glanced over the feeds there was a post about QR codes that caught my attention because of a recent project that I completed. It wasn't the codes that I got excited about, but rather this amazing resource - a website called LiveBinders- that has information about everything techie organized in virtual binders. There are 1,000 binders and 30 of them are about educational topics. It includes everything from how to use Twitter in the classroom to 1st grade Math word problems. It also provides a tool to organize my own binders.

This "keeping up" time was absolutely worth my while. While I am still crazy busy, I learned another lesson. Funny, it always seems like I want to end my posts with "the moral of this story is...... :) Anyway, I found paydirt today and it was only because I scheduled time to review a few preselected and technology managed sources. Scheduling time to read and write Blogs and Tweet, is a way to help me to find the right balance between information overload and being uniformed.
