Head to Toe

HEAD...

Now that I am home, I've had some time to refelct on yet another great MAME experience. Marcia Mardis gave a great closing keynote calling for committment to go back to our schools and ACT. She gave out postcards, reminding us she would be mailing them to us, so we could take our "next steps" being a force for change and shaping our own destinies. For my own follow-up, I sat down today with one of my fifth grade teachers to discuss the finer points of blogging or trying a wiki with one of his fifth graders' projects. While he started out giving me the "I-don't have-time-for-everything-I want-to-do!" whine, it ended with "Yeah, that would be cool!" line. That's all I need - a foot in the proverbial door...I'll make it happen.

I want to thank all the people who shared their great ideas, their unfailing support, their hearty laughs, their provacative conversation -- it's what brings me home rarin' to go once again in this job I love so much.

TO TOE...

With that, I challenge you to do something to get your foot in the proverbial door. BTW, it might help if you have shoes like these...
