		<description><![CDATA[Last fall, I wrote about taking a break from social media and examining how I spend my time. At #EdCampKC 2010, I was forced to revisit that idea in an incredible conversation that Chris Miller led. The magic about his session was not that it was a talk to a group of people, but a [...]]]></description>

It is the beat we hear and feel, what we might identify as metronome to our every function. It is the pointing baton of the conductor in our electric orchestra. What can distinguish a conductor from a metronome? [...]]]></description>

I was in my very last semester before student teaching and I could not have found a better friend than I did in Mingon&#8217;s voice. What her podcast showed me was that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is Part II of a piece about Why I&#8217;m Quitting Grading The most important part about quitting grading is the focus on a continual dialogue with students about their learning process. The conversations have to move away from &#8220;when is this due?&#8221; &#8220;how much is this worth?&#8221; and &#8220;when will we be done?&#8221; and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been trying to write this post for a long time. I started this draft nearly a year ago. Perhaps the most intriguing&#8211;and divisive&#8211;topic in education is grading. Why we do it, how we go about it, and when we report it are all issues of contention among educators, parents, and students. Figuring out assessment [...]]]></description>

When you&#8217;re dealt a situation not to your liking, the best thing to do is focus on solutions.

		<description><![CDATA[This week, in an effort that may or may not be connected to the recent change in date, I tried something new: Yoga. My life is wonderfully hectic and the draw of slowing down and unplugging is always under the surface. When I attended my first class the other night, I didn't expect any personal revelations or quick fixes, just a time to remove myself from normal habits. After nearly an hour of controlled breathing and slow stretching we laid on our backs and did something interesting that yielded new results. Starting with our faces, we worked on contracting different muscle groups as much as we could while still breathing. The tension in each group made it difficult.]]></description>
