Teaching With Technology in APS

I was on NHL.com recently and noticed that Gary Bettman, the commissioner of the NHL, had recently visited Ron Clark’s school in Atlanta.  Plenty of Promethean hardware in this story.  This is my kind of story because it has three of my favorite things in the world (Ron Clark, the NHL, and Promethean) all in one story!  Check it out here.

I was walking the dog on Friday evening and walked by a man and a woman on a path near our house.  We all ended up doing that double take and trying to make the connection between where we’ve seen each other before.  I knew she worked in the district, but I couldn’t remember where off the top of my head.  After asking her where she worked it turned out that I have seen her a couple of times at one of our elementary schools.  We did some Promethean training there last school year.  I introduced myself after we made the connection and she said, “Oh yeah, you’re the Promethean guy!”

It always feels good when people know you for something positive.  I’m affectionately known as the “Promethean Man” around our office.

I don’t mind being called the Promethean “man” or “guy.”  It’s kind of fun.  Plus, I’m positive I’ve been called much worse in my lifetime.
