I am back on the road to New Paltz on the day after a long 4th celebration. I had family celebrations to then a day of work in preparation for the Digital Institute in Rhode Island that begins on Sunday. I had a chapter to peer review for our upcoming book with Troy Hicks and I had clothes to wash after a week away in Atlanta on the enormous tech conference that was way too big for me. I’m so looking forward to a group of 100 educators that I can really get to know.
But for now, for this week and the rest of July I’ll be documenting kids working with great HVWP TCs, as they love writing. What could be better than that. And I get to catch some of the best moments of the experience. What could be better?
Here’s some of the images I caught on my camera and I have even more on my camcorder and Go Pro. Yup, I brought it all!!

I’m engaged in some “line lifting” this morning, where I am stealing lines and phrases and themes from my blogging friends, and building poems around then. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me, and allowing me a chance to remix. I do it out of honor for you.

This place is too big for me
too wide open
too expansive for me to connect with
so I find my corner
and write, coming full circle
into the reasons why I arrived here in the first place
with wonderment at the changes unfolding
on such a grand scale that it is changing the world
even as I capture the smallest moments possible
still emerging in front of me.
You did honor my words and took them beyond 🙂
Love seeing the photographs of all the kids. You have had such a busy summer already!
I’ve had some sleepless nights but it helped to work on Sunday. I’m psyched for next week.
Wow, as you shared with me, you are busy, Bonnie. I didn’t know about your book “in the works”, terrific news. I always, always love seeing those pictures. You know just how to capture the essence of involvement! Thank you! And hope this time is better with only 100!
It is always great to see the kids so engaged in what they are doing. How wonderful that you were there to capture the moments.
This is engagement in learning, for the kids but you too. Love it when you show with pictures!
You and Troy Hicks! What a great duo. I’m wondering about this book and hoping it has something to do with documenting learning with technology. Your pictures speak volumes!
You’ve become a regular Carmen Sandiego, sans solving mysteries. 🙂 It would almost be shocking to read a post titled “Bonnie Stays Home!” I love Kevin’s poem too!
I love your photos of these young writers hard at work, Bonnie! What a lucky group of kids. Good luck with your book!
Love the pictures of teachers and kids working together. You are always on an adventure ~ one of the things that I admire about you. 🙂
