- Thanks Melissa! Hope you had a peaceful, thankful Thanksgiving too.
I will check with our tech people tomorrow about Thursday. Hope it works out because I am really looking forward to your perspective!
Talk to you soon, Diane

- Hi Melissa- I'm wondering 2 things: 1) if there might be a time when you could come to LJA to discuss infrastructure/network with our tech guys. 2) if you happen to know anyone you would recommend for a position like yours- tech integration, with an understanding of infrastructure, etc. (Eric is no longer with the school in that capacity.)
Thanks much, Diane

- Melissa - how could you believe that I do not look as smooth as this always. Actually, it is the school's official Headmaster picture and I suspect it is well doctored for PR purposes. Normally, hair in a major cockrel state from running my hands through it. This photo is actually from a trip to the topsy turvy world of Japan.

Do you plan on attending NECC this year in DC?

Diana Oshiro said… - There will be many wonderful break-out sessions but if you have the chance, please catch one of the sessions being presented by Sharon Abrigo and Garret Yoshimura. You may want to ask them about their efforts to redesign courses and move from a typical facilitation model to one that requires applied learning by students.
