Make the change

“Like in a divorce, you know, there’s always two sides. So I don’t think we did as good a job, we’re gonna look in the mirror, too, and say, ‘OK, what do we have to do a better job in coaching this team?’ … That’s what all these companies did, they downsized, they re-evaluated, they looked at it. Good time for re-evaluation for us a little bit, because we’re in pretty good shape, 14 straight (NCAA) appearances, we’ve got some consistency. And we’ll be back. We’ll be back, that’s a promise.”
- Tom Izzo after losing to UCLA in the first round of the 2011 NCAA Men's Basketball tournament.

Diigo in the classroom

Diigo is a great tool for classroom professional development. I would have to ask around and see how I could infiltrate it into my everyday curriculum. I think it is easy for teachers to grab ideas off the internet and organize them. It will be a little hard for me to pull myself away from my google reader and familiarize myself with another organizational tool. It will be a lot easier once summer comes around and I can have a chance to reorganize everything for next year.
