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.

Welcome Matt! It's great to have you on board and I love the title of your blog. Very creative :)
ReplyDelete"Thinkery" might not be a word yet (and I checked, that's part of my BCS job!), but there is room in our wonderful English language for another word that can even further confuse foreigners! Ha! So just don't ask me to translate it into bunches of languages...yet! It's a great word that fits you, Matt!
ReplyDeleteI love the data troll comment/nickname. I feel like a small data troll, because I am so into it this year, plus as a 7th grade math teacher, I am currently finishing up that unit. Welcome to the class.
