Tim Holt has tagged me in the Summer Professional Development/Learning Meme 2009 that Clif Mims started some time ago. The rules appear below what I intend to do. What do I intend to do?

1. Learn how to use Carbon Copy Cloner or DeployStudio over the network to reimage a Mac computer lab; I just learned how to use it “one by one” booting from an external hard drive.
2. Learn how to use FOG over the network to reimage a Windows computer lab.
3. Books I intend to read include John Maxwell’s “Be a People Person,” and Berliner and Biddle’s “The Manufactured Crisis.”
4. Develop an online version of my Problem-based Learning Academy for Educators to share with a wider audience.

Rules

Summer can be a great time for professional development. It is an opportunity to learn more about a topic, read a particular work or the works of a particular author, beef up an existing unit of instruction, advance one’s technical skills, work on that advanced degree or certification, pick up a new hobby, and finish many of the other items on our ever-growing To Do Lists. Let’s make Summer 2009 a time when we actually get to accomplish a few of those things and enjoy the thrill of marking them off our lists.
