As an educator, it is in my nature to continually seek ways to learn and share knowledge with others. I always seem to gravitate to new learnings, gadgets, widgets and all kinds of 'ets' especially with the way we are able to acquire information and resources today. I absolutely love when I come across something new and I don’t know where to start or where to begin learning it. Next thing you know, you lose track of time and you're still going at it. Just when you think you have figured out how to do something, a new way of doing it comes along, maybe a way you hadn’t thought of doing it before and that’s where the fun begins...

7 Guidelines for Educators
Wes Fryer shares his flickr set @ CoSN 09 . This was one image I found noteworthy. My favorite is... ' reinvent yourself as a teacher, professor or educator." With all the emerging technologies and Web 2.0 practices, as educators, we can and should embrace the inevitable.   As a side note, if we don't embrace the inevitable, it will definitely pass us by... Take a look... ...
