others who I admire and what they are doing to help move mathematics education into the 21st century&#8230;&#8230;This is because I have been on medical leave for a broken foot. \u00a0I was successful for a short while teaching with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tech4mathed.com\/2010\/10\/01\/how-to-teach-with-a-broken-foot\/\" target=\"_blank\">Mobi<\/a> from a stationary spot in each classroom, but I was still having to walk to three different buildings and my foot was not healing. \u00a0 My doctor advised me to go on medical leave and let it heal. \u00a0 I have missed my students terribly, and am disappointed not to be able to try the new online projects I had planned for the semester. \u00a0It was hard not being able to do any training this past semester as well. \u00a0 \u00a0I have been given a doctor&#8217;s release to go back to teaching again in the spring, and I am excited to dig my heels back into teaching and learning with technology!<\/p>\n<p>I do have other exciting news to share as well (besides getting to start teaching again in the spring): \u00a0AMATYC Project ACCCESS invited me to serve as a Consulting Colleague (mentor) for the 2011-12 Project ACCCESS Fellows! \u00a0 They even sent me the contact information for the Fellow I will be directly advising on her project so I can get started today! \u00a0It will be amazing to be in a cohort of established teachers who will be mentoring, along with Fellows who are new teachers wanting to learn more about the scholarship of teaching at a 2 year college. \u00a0 The Fellow I am mentoring is working on a project to include technology, like the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tech4mathed.com\/tag\/livescribe-2\/\" target=\"_blank\">Livescribe smartpen<\/a>, into her Hybrid college courses to help her students. \u00a0 I feel so honored to be chosen to assist in guiding her progress, and help her to evaluate her project.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about the AMATYC ACCCESS program, go to the link:\u00a0<a
