Thing 1-A

Well I don't believe anonymity is going to work here as my profile is a (pretty much) dead giveaway to those who know me. Oh well. About myself.

I work in the central office of a mid-sized school district. My official position is "Testing Specialist" but I do a lot more than just that. I've been at my current post for four years and have been in education for eight years. I obviously don't teach a class. My background is school psychology and my expertise, to the extent that I have any, is in assessment, statistics, data analysis, and general thinkery. I don't know if that is a real word or not but it is now as I have just coined it. BEHOLD THE POWER OF WEB 2.o!

My goal for this class is the gain a more solid understanding of new media and technological application in order to better do my job and communicate with those who I need to. I chose to take the course because many of the topics covered interest me and I hope to learn more about them.

And so it begins...

Well...here goes nothing. With this post I hereby initiate the "Moonlight Through the Pines" blog. See I kept any mention of 23 things out of the title. I can follow directions at at least a fourth grade level! Anyway I look forward to seeing what deeply Machiavellian purposes I can use this blog for in addition to the 23 things class.
