2020 a Year In Review!


Yes, 2020 was quite a year.  When you're a blogger you have the opportunity to reflect on your year based on the posts you create.  My goal for every year is to interview a person at least once a month.  Once the Covid Pandemic hit, honestly I ran into a rut.  Partially it was due to the increased demands and changes that are part of my job as a technology integrator.  The other part is was just a small feeling of depression.   I'm guessing we all went through a mixture of emotions.  Needless to say, I found inspiration and energy from my social media friends and eventually got back into the swing by interviewing some fantastic people educators and artists.  

Here is my chronicle of interviews for the 2020 Year.  Hope you'll enjoy the amazing people that I get to talk to.  Their work and ideas are truly inspirational and motivating!
