Undeserved Honors: Apparently I Have "Impact"...
A couple of weeks ago I got an email from Kathy Schrock, the webmaster and namesake for the popular Kathy Schrock's Guide for Educators website. In it she congratulated me and said it was nice to see our pictures on the same page. Unfortunately, I had no idea what she was talking about. It turns out that the edtech newspaper eSchoolNews had named me as a member of its first annual Impact 30 index, which profiles a list of the 30 most influential people in education technology today. It was surprising to see my name on the list, but perhaps more shocking was the fact that I was highlighted as one of five Newsmakers and Opinion Shapers, which also included Arizona senator/presidential candidate John McCain and Linda Roberts of the US Department of Education. I'm still not exactly sure what the folks at eSchoolNews were smoking when they made up their list, but nonetheless, I'm both touched and honored by their decision.
