Darren, just saw this on twitter, I've been busy and missed 5 days worth! Congrats to you and your new school district. To your old district I am sure you have left a lasting legacy. We are with you, no matter where.

Congratulations, Darren! I saw it's a new District, so I guess it's a wonderful chance for you! You'll do great things, you're a great communicator.
Best wishes!

So are you hiring yet, Darren?

I'd like to apply!

(Can you imagine if we really did get a district full of ed tech superstars all working in one place at one time? That would be pretty crazy, I'd bet.)

Like everyone, jazzed for your opportunity. Good people in good places always end up doing good things.

Rock on,
Bill

GRATZ! It sounds like a fun and interesting position, and I am sure all the folks at CSD will be excited to have you.

Do you have ideas already in place or is it too early for that?

Amazing how we embrace change, but when it comes time for change in our own lives, we get a little cold feet sometimes! Congratulations, and best wishes to you and your family as you prepare to make this transition.

Darren, I tried to post my congratulations on Facebook, but it was blocked by the district. Yet we were able to access Playboy videos on YouTube. Go figure.

I work with Darren every day. In fact I sit right next to him at the office. I can say that I think he is the most qualified person for the job. Darren has great vision and will do a fabulous things. I have learned a lot from Darren over the last 3 years, as has my team. Best wishes Darren, you will be great.

Congratulations! So exciting and excellent news for both you & family. But does this mean we will see more of Darren or less :)

Great news! Congrats on the new gig. I'm sure your new school and students will embrace what you bring, and that your old school and students will always be learning from what you've shared.

Continue to be contagious and instruct to independence

Another win for the good guys.

Stephen Downes — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 06:44:35 -0000

Congratulations, and don't feel badly about the transition - your old division should have promoted you long before now.

Congrats Darren,
I know you will be successful with your experiences and education demonstrated through this opportunity to build it from the ground up. This is every Ed Techie's dream to build it from the ground up rather than repair what you inherit.

So here is to change...you, me, President Obama all starting in new careers.

May your budget be accommodating, your grants many, and the participants of your PD and techspertise continue to share knowledge and expand their own PLNs.

Beginning a job in a newly formed district leaves a lot of doors open. You will be developing a new culture and not have to deal with the "we have always" attitude. Congratulations and good luck to you and your family!
