Too Heavy

Posted on July 2, 2011 by Josh Stumpenhorst

In the past several weeks and months I have been reading a great many blogs and articles about the state of education and where we need to move. I further discussed this at great length with a number of educators at ISTE last week. The question I have is, “are we overcomplicating the matter?” There […]

The Super School

Posted on June 29, 2011 by Josh Stumpenhorst

During ISTE I was out at one of the various evening events and I struck up a conversation with Principal Dave Meister.

Connections

Posted on June 29, 2011 by Josh Stumpenhorst

Connections. That is my number one takeaway from ISTE 2011. For the first time I was able to meet people in person that I had previously met and worked with online. I have interacted with countless educators from all parts of the globe and this ISTE was the first time for me to meet a […]

Best School Year…Ever

Posted on June 11, 2011 by Josh Stumpenhorst

The school year has come to an end and to put it plainly, it has been the single greatest school year of my relatively short career. It has been a year of learning and progress for both my students and me that will be tough to duplicate. Here is a list of things that I […]

Why I Am Not Following You?

Posted on June 1, 2011 by Josh Stumpenhorst

Recently I have reflected on who to follow on Twitter and what blogs to keep in my reader. I came up with following criteria and in no way mean to offend anyone. I was starting to feel overwhelmed with information overload and wanted to be more selective and therefore more productive. Here are some criteria […]

You’ve Got A Friend In Me

Posted on May 31, 2011 by Josh Stumpenhorst

You’ve Got a Friend in Me is the song we choose for our little lip dub project. Yes, it was a fun project and I had a blast putting it together. However, I think symbolically it means a whole lot more. It is just a small symbol of the connections we have created and fostered […]
