Newbie Project | Nebraska Change Agent
Did you know that Richard Byrne, the writer of free tech for teachers, was the first person sponsored by the ISTE Newbie project. This is such a worthwile project by Beth Still.

They raised $1500 to send Richard Byrne to NECC.
So many of us in EdTech have benefited from Richard's blog Free Tech 4 Teachers. See what happens when you pay it forward? When you help others? -

Hashtag Fail « Mr. R’s Blogspot 2.0
Research tags before you use them. This is a perfect example. A youth revival that decided to use the hashtag #LookAtMeNow when tons of people were using it for not so Christian content. You can laugh but people use hashtags all the time. We spent quite a bit of time picking the hashtag for global conversations and popularity has a cost - if a hashtag becomes popular, some spammer will hit it eventually.
