What a terrific week in camp! My mind has been racing with ideas for usage of the information I obtained. Ways to get discussions going around a topic, modeling appropriate behaviors or a new skill, and monitoring progress of learning a health skill! I have been waking up early just excited again about health teaching! What a gift Meg gave each of us!

Finally book in hand and feet up, this camp director is taking some R&R and enjoying Summer! I actually taking time off to reflect and recharge, and to continue the conversation about web 2.0 tools and teaching and learning in new ways. Drop in and chat when you can! When I get back from the pool, I will catch up!

Happy summer, ENJOY!

One student struggled, but I wasn't too surprised by this, he is a perfectionist and struggled with what to do.
