Muddling through the blogosphere

David Warlick Praises SCOE’s Own John Fleischman

| 0 comments

Part of my morning routine generally includes reading David Warlick’s 2 cents blog. He was in San Francisco this week to present at the 25th Technology, Reading Learning Diversity Conference. That’s a new one for me. Had I known about it, I would have made the 2.5 hour trip from the foothills to “the City” to sit in on his session. And now I am really regretting having missed the TRLD conference because in his post this morning, he praises Sacramento COE’s John Fleischman:

I had nothing else to do until 5:30, so I attended sessions, and was surprised at how many Web 2.0 presentations are being done — considering that this is not entirely a technology conference. John Fleischman, of the Sacramento County Office of Education, presented a session called Digital Native Tools: What Every Educator Should Know. It’s a great title for a great presentation. I was especially impressed with the clarity of his work. He very masterfully presented the components of Web 2.0, without getting bogged down in the muck that is the philosophy of the new web. It’s my problem in presenting this stuff, that I seem compelled to try to convey not only the tools but the spirit of the new web — and that’s really hard. Often, it’s just too much information.”

John Fleischman has worked tirelessly to improve connectivity to Sacramento schools and to promote the meaningful kind technology integration made possible by a reliable infrastructure. Many of us who work in his CTAP 3 region know the difference he is making for teaching and learning in our schools, but is not one to toot his own horn – he’s too busy promoting the work of others. I am very pleased to see his name out there in the blogosphere.
