As for the Kool-Ade, yeah it goes down, but I choke on it often and I feel it may be giving me tumors o something. Will see how much longer I can drink it. I would expect nothing less from you.

However, generally, a lot of those people are like that offline too. It's just an extension of their personality. My opinion, you ask? You don't? Well I'll give it to you all anyway: No one has the right to tell me what I can or cannot share. If you don't like what someone is sharing, if you think it's too much, so be it: "unfriend" on Facebook, stop following the person on Twitter; don't read the blog. You can control your actions and reactions don't try and control others. Although I am not one of those people that shares their every move I'd like to say I won't judge you for not sharing; don't judge me and others for sharing.

I know what you are saying is true, I guess sometimes we just need to vent. I am glad that my frustration has turned into some pretty useful comments from the amazing educators up above in these comments. Thanks for reading and commenting Matthew.

Thanks. "People should remember that learning is a never ending process and that we are all learning perpetually. We all should realize how to explore things independently and learn from our very own experience calmly and patiently. " Exactly!

I am not sure if I feel comfortable as being a "person like me" pushing for tech. Yes it is my job and yes I don try my best to help others understand how technology can shift the way we teach not just expedite it, but I hope that by reading my blog you can see that I try to be critical. Secondly, just because technology is everywhere, doe not mean kids know how to use it. That is why we are so important so that we can figure it out with them and learn a way to be healthy and happy and function in these modern times. But I think we agree that we need a balance.

Thanks. I think you are right that a free for all 366 is too much, but I want to find a structure that works. Would be cool if we could create a Flickr group where various students could post their photos and sets, so others could use them for writing prompts, etc....I hope to start this soon, will keep you posted....

Anyway, I love all of these ideas. I like guiding them with a theme/ idea weekly and have them take at least 1 shot per week and pick out the one that represents the theme and make a monthly collage. Maybe these 4 theme/ideas can be integrated into writing a story or a script for a movie. Recently I read tweets from music teachers that along with their 366 projects, they will compose 12 original pieces. Isn't this the same idea? Writing 12 short stories would be fantastic! I agree with @rushtheiceberg - I'm also inspired by how people see the world - their pictures tell it all. Jabiz,
