From its extraction through sale, use and disposal, all the stuff in our lives affects communities at home and abroad, yet most of this is hidden from view. The Story of Stuff with Annie Leonard is a 20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside of our production and consumption patterns. The Story of Stuff exposes the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues, and calls us together to create a more sustainable and just world. It'll teach you something, it'll make you laugh, and it just may change the way you look at all the stuff in your life forever.

Hi, all.

We've heard from Dr. Helen Padgett, President Elect of ISTE, and she has given us a national and international context for the work that we do within the NYSUT Committee on Educational Technology. I've also attended several "The Way Forward" workshops with Stan Silverman and our friend Joe Pesavento, and they've been spreading the word about the state's tech plan initiatives.

I'm in Washington, DC, on April 27-30 to attend the AFT-NEA Higher Education Joint Conference: Building Alliances for Higher Education and the Public Good.

As Adjunct Coordinator for the Faculty Association, of course, I'll be attending several sessions on representing and advocating for contingent faculty. Unfortunately, one of the adjunct workshops I'd love to attend is being offered at the same time I'm presenting, but I'll make it to two other sessions.
