What kind of turtle is this?

While out on the deck, I saw this turtle traipsing through the backyard today.  
What kind of turtle is it?


If you know what kind of turtle it is, please leave a comment.

Your time...as a gift

When one reflects on gifts given and received...what is your most memorable? You never know when the gift of your time can make a difference.


For those using Google Docs...check out the templates. When you find a public template that you like...use it, tailor for your specific situation. To preview a template, click the Preview link, and a full screen preview of the template appears in a new window.


To use a template, click Use this template and a copy of the template is created and added to your Docs list. You can start editing this document directly in Google Docs and sharing it with others. You need to be signed in to your Google Account in order to use a template.


When you use a template, you create your own copy, so it doesn't matter if the template owner changes or deletes the original template; your copy remains unchanged. You can always upload or create your own template and share it with the world too!

Share your feedback
Give the template you used a rating

I would like to thank the 946 users of this Tech Sharing certificate I created and shared through Google Docs.



Remember...this gift works both ways...you can give it to someone that you want to learn from and this certificate works as the gift reminder. Everyone has something to share, from keyboard shortcuts to uploading videos. As you share your creativity and time...your gift of sharing time, knowledge, and a skillset is priceless!

Community as Curriculum

I participated in David Cormier's Community as Curriculum webhead event today. I would like to defend my dissertation this way. Of course, I understand that I have to eradicate some barriers.

But why shouldn't I have an opportunity to defend my dissertation this way? The degree is Educational Technology Management...I chose the Ed.D degree because I am a practioner, not the researcher wanting to develop a new theory or change existing theory.

Watch this UStream . The chat room was busy, the doodling of responses on the slides was collaborative, so even if you missed something, everything is archived to review later at your own pace and convenience. Once Dave's time was up, the UStream was available.


Don't have time to watch the Ustream? Check out the slides that display everyone's participative comments.


Even if I can't defend my dissertation this way, why not change the options now for future students?


As always, comments are welcome!
