Hey Followers,
I completely forgot about my blog. I intend on writing more as my career changes. This blog will cover just about everything that makes me who I am. Topics will include technology, love and loss, entrepreneurship, media literacy, education, parenting, fatherhood, "men, women, and children," movies, theatre, art, materialism, entitlement, "pay it forward," "What the Bleep do We Know?" YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, social media, formal education, and self education. You are my first 12 followers and will be cherished. Here is a poem I wrote after being inspired by a student. Thank you and enjoy.
Peace and love,
Ken

What'll it be?
My parents said this will build
Character.
I disagree. I think it's legal
Slavery.
I bag because you are obviously too
Retarded to bag your own.
I'm sorry. I must have been talking about your child. Is that who the
Twinkies are for? The obese toddler?
I want to be a lawyer, or a doctor, or
Maybe a firefighter.
No.
I'd rather be a fucking cliché.
How many times do I have to pretend
Like I care? The money isn't worth it.
I want to say
"Would you like to kill more trees or fill the landfill?"
Paper or plastic.

Here is my one minute message about Evernote. Please post a comment below.

Evernote makes it easy to remember things big and small from your notable life using your computer, phone, and the web. With Evernote you can capture everything. The use of Evernote in an educational setting is expansive. For example, students could use their cell phones to capture images for a field trip scavenger hunt, instantly upload them for viewing later. If you can see it or think of it, Evernote can help you remember it (Evernote, 2010). You can type text notes take a screen shot of web pages or snap photos (Evernote, 2010). Evernote will keep it all safe (Evernote, 2010). Everything you capture is automatically processed, indexed, and made searchable (Evernote, 2010). If you like, you can add tags or organize notes into different notebooks (Evernote, 2010). Search for notes by keywords, titles, and tags. Evernote magically makes printed and handwritten text inside your images searchable, too (Evernote, 2010).
I plan on using Evernote in class for assignment where students have to prove with a visual image that they have completed a task. I would also like to use it for field trips to museums where students need to capture images, and tag the phote with the proper tag to not only prove they went to the areas but also that they know what they viewed and can explain what they learn. I would also ask the students how they want to use Evernote. It is a great program that has many uses. Like other great programs, it is free which is a plus.
