I have spent the last few days focused on technology, training, and all things Google. As I prepared for teaching a session, I was reminded that I have a blog. As is obvious by the most recent past post, I haven't been here in a while, so...
Right now I my thoughts seem to be focused in three areas:
MUSIC: As always, my life revolves around music. I spend the majority of every day attempting to inspire students to create and perform music. I also am involved in a big band jazz ensemble that performs regularly. And, there are always instruments around to play, musical ideas to put down, and new artists to listen to. Music is a constant in my life.
PHOTOGRAPHY: I have always loved cameras and making photos. I have become a bit obsessed with it lately. I have bought and traded several cameras recently, and I seem to spend a lot of time reading and learning, but not as much shooting photos as I should. I am working on a plan to change that, and trying to challenge myself with projects that will get me making photos every day.
TECHNOLOGY: I have also always been interested in gadgets, and trends in music and educational technology. I have a room full of music technology devices, and computer/iPad/iPhone with dozens of electronic music apps. I have also been given an opportunity to learn about and train others in the use of technology for teaching. It is an ever changing landscape demanding a lot of attention.
Add to these Family and Faith (and good food and coffee) and there is a lot to think about...
