A week that starts with a leap day and ends with Grammar Day.
Monday and Tuesday I'm attending (and presenting at) the ERLC Educational Technology Innovation Summit. Monday I'm presenting on Learning with Video Games and Computational Thinking, and Tuesday will be How to Prevent Plagiarism and Encourage Learning.
Tuesday night I'm teaching the second session of the Maker/3D printer class.
Wednesday will hopefully be a morning in the office, followed by the Learning Technologies meeting in the afternoon.
Thursday I'm meeting with a principal about a CTF robotics program for their school, and perhaps system-wide implementation options for robotics.
Friday of course is a professional learning day. I've arranged for some people from Microsoft to be presenting about our new Office 365 implementation as well as ways to get students coding. I'll be presenting on Scratch and robotics in the morning, and in the afternoon I'm facilitating discussion around Maybe We Don't Need Exams: Alternative Assessment Ideas.

Week of February 22 - 26, 2016
It finally looks like there aren't too many things scheduled for this week. Which is good, since there are quite a few big projects in the works, a number of event days to plan and coordinate, and things on my to do list.
I do have a couple of evening things booked this week, though. Tuesday night I'm teaching a Maker course that will run for three consecutive Tuesdays, and Wednesday night is the Off-Campus teachers' meeting.
I'm also thinking about starting a weekly podcast...

Week of February 16 - 19, 2016
Busy week this week. This is dated on Tuesday because of Family Day, of course.
Tuesday I'm helping out a little with the My Voice, My Future student conference (check out the Instagram from the day), presenting a maker session, talking to the Salisbury video game club, and touring a student around Learning Technologies as a possible Career testDrive or even internship.
Wednesday is the Learning Technologies meeting, and one of the big things on the agenda is an impact assessment of the proposed project to go 1:1 Chromebooks in grades four and seven.
Thursday is something of a "getting things done" day, and hopefully another impact assessment discussion with some education consultants.
Friday we'll finally get to meet together as a Learning Services team for the first time since a new member joined us.
A few of the other things that need to get done include:

Some longer-scale things on the go are Scratch Day planning (March 10th), esports tournament planning, and
