Things like yahoo teachers are still behind what we need… teachers need to think further outside the box and push for school redesign, small school and project-based models, increased student expectations, and a pay scale that even remotely reflects the time, skill, and devotion that it takes to do the job well.

Yahoo teachers seems like a good tool, but it’s almost like giving someone a bucket when they’re faced with a flood.

Here’s my idea for the “for internal use only” logo, but I can’t draw, so that part’s up to someone else:

The universal red circle with a slash over a silhouette of someone leaning back their head and squeezing the contents of an ointment tube into their mouth.

Can’t imagine anything more clear than that.

Since we do health education sites, I love when you have posts like this.

And by the way, work just might pay my way to SXSW. We’ll see.

As an insulin pump user, I second the excitement for the Charmr. Wow. When cool things like this come along I always think, Why didn’t they do this a long time ago?!
Very exciting. Thanks!

Long time reader, haven’t commented much…. Thank you for posting these recaps from the seminar! As a mom of a new type-1 diabetic young daughter, it’s exciting to read about all these upcoming projects!

We purchase our daughter’s prescription Zyrtec at Target because they have a bottle that you put the syringe in and measure. A lot less messy! And they put a colored ring on the bottle so you know who’s it is.

As a diabetic (type 2) I find the Charmr deal really interesting. Anything that can help those kids would be terrific and that sounds like such a good idea! Thanks for sharing!

The teacher thing is amazing – I love the idea of truly global lesson plans like that. It almost makes me wish I’d actually gone into teaching like I had planned way back when. Except that I hated teaching.
