My 100th Blog Post

Well… take that blogosphere!
 
I remember seeing a statistic a while back about how 95% of bloggers quit. And yes… I have started two other blogs in my past that died a quiet death but not this one baby! 
 
I kicked this blog off in April of 2015 as I was thinking about changing my role as a classroom teacher into something different. Since that first blog I have had many changes and experiences and tried to document some of them along the way. 

• I’ve become a TOSA for my district and worked with K-12 teachers over the past two years
• I have started and maintained two different podcasts, Check This Out and Talking Social Studies (and yes thinking about another one… side note, any science teachers interested in being a podcaster reach out to me!)
• I have traveled around Europe with a group of students
• I’ve presented at conferences and workshops both throughout California and the country from deep in the depths of the USS Hornet to the deep in the south of Alabama.
• I have spent probably far too much time on Twitter and not enough in the gym
• I have taken and or uploaded just under 44,000 photos in Google Photos and it still is probably the most revolutionary app / tool I use in my life

 
Now in my blogging journey did I often feel like this cartoon below?
TOTALLY!

Although writer's block is often a struggle, probably the biggest hurdle of them all is the same one which all educators find at every turn - NOT ENOUGH TIME. But for now... I am liking my writing pace and looking forward to the summer for time read and write. For those of you who taken the time to read any of these posts... I truly thank you!
