Happy New Year to my half million readers!

It's the final day of 2013 - what a year!  I hope you have enjoyed the review of my learning that I've posted over the past few days.  The past 4 years that I've been writing a blog I feel I have grown so much as a teacher, a writer and a person and I'm excited to think about what new things I will become involved in during the coming year.

Today I passed the half million reader mark.  Thank you to each and every one of you for encouraging me to blog.  I truly believe I am only in the place I am today, personally and professionally, because of the encouragement I've received over the past 4 years.

I know next year will bring new challenges and opportunities.  I'm looking forward to ASB Un-Plugged, to Bernajean Porter making another extended visit to ASB, to Frank Baker becoming our guest author and teaching us about media literacy.  I'm looking forward to the summer where I will be taking a workshop on cognitive coaching and where I'll be presenting a workshop at ISTE on BYOD.  I'm looking forward to becoming a school visitor for the IBO in the fall, starting with a visit to a school in Bangalore.  So much already planned!  But best of all I'm excited beyond measure to become a Director of Educational Technology at ASB next school year.  Welcome 2014 - bring it on!
