(the other is Rodd Lucier’s)

THANK YOU for introducing her to so many of us — and yes, the power and influence and ability to share so much with so many so quickly continues to astound me.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts here!
Hope to see you soon

I attended the ICE conference a few years ago and met you there and have still followed different things that you have done, so I thought it was neat that she was going to be working with you. My instructions to her were to listen to everything you had to say with technology because it was probably going to be the most amazing thing she ever heard! Thank you for being so awesome with promoting our discipline.

You might also enjoy John R. Fox’s new book, Digital Work in an Analog World, which helps you to understand what drives software professionals. It’s great for anyone considering entering the field or currently working as an engineer.

I am making up for it now in retirement! My book club will be discussing The School of Essential Ingedients tonight. I loved it!

]]> Comment on Someone You Should Know – Al Spriester by Eileen Donnersberger http://www.beatechie.com/archives/1021/comment-page-1#comment-14603 Eileen Donnersberger Sat, 25 Feb 2012 04:54:51 +0000 http://www.beatechie.com/?p=1021#comment-14603 As you may know by now, Al died last Sunday morning. My daughter married his youngest child ,Bart, in 2004. It is wonderful to read these tributes to Al. We have come to know him — and Dorothy before her death 3 years ago — and have developed a deep love and respect for them both. Al was an unassuming man who always seem to what the light to shine on others … You were so fortunate to have known him as a younger man.

As a music educator, who turned presenter, then composer & teacher again, I appreciate the changes life offers ;)

This opportunity for you sounds amazing. I’m sure your students will miss you – but – I look forward to hearing about the many other educators who will be inspired by what you do. I know I have been!

Ever since I ‘went online’ with twitter and my blog I have been following your posts and classroom 2.0 sessions. I was even lucky enough to be a part of one where your students joined in.

Keep us posted on your progress and innovative ideas. They are inspiring.
