The first of many PS 7 updates

Finally installed PowerSchool version 7.  Slowly but surly I'll update all these custom pages.
The first to be updated is the Awesome Report Queue.
Enjoy all of you early adopters. Now checkout how adorable my daughter is!

Little NickTech

Introducing...
Zoe Michele Peronti

My pride and joy! Born May 13th 2011.
Tech stuff is taking a backseat to burping and diaper changes.

Two great conferences coming up

February 22 - 25: Illinois Computing Educators (ICE) Conference

This will be my 7th year attending ICE…
6th year volunteering (Red Shirts!)...
5th year on the planning committee...
and 3rd year presenting.
I'm a regular ICE-Capade (best I could come up with).

But seriously, this is an excellent conference for teachers and administrators looking for ideas on integrating technology with learning. One of the Keynotes this year is David Pogue tech writer for the New York Times!

Oh, and check out the break-out session titled Drupalicious: Designing Web Sites with Drupal Open Source CMS on Wednesday. My cohorts and I will be showing off the free Drupal content management system used to build flexible web 2.0 school sites.

I'm attending DrupalCon Chicago, March 7-10, 2011

March 7 - 10: Drupalcon Chicago

The last DrupalCon I attended was 2007 in Barcelona Spain, if you can believe that. It was a wonderful eye-opening experience. Now a days you can attend Drupalcon right here in the ol' USA. And I am so psyched that it is right here in my home town!

I will not be presenting... too much of a newb. But I'm going to see if there are enough people for a "Drupal in elementary education" birds of a feather discussion.
