It happened. I was accepted to participate in the Google Teacher Academy for Administrators. So what exactly does this mean? It means that in March I will be traveling to San Antonio, TX along with 49 other administrators from around the country to participate in an intensive workshop that is "designed to create a strong professional learning community of administrators who support each other over the course of a year, so if you are not local, you must be willing to be resourceful with all technologies to facilitate communication and collaboration with your fellow Google Certified Teachers."
I am very excited about this opportunity and I am already amazed by how quickly this group of admins has started to network using Twitter. By comparison, I am coming from a very small school, a JK-12 private school, but I suspect most of our issues, concerns, gripes, and observations are similar with respects to teaching, learning, personnel, and the role of curriculum.
With that, let the sharing and learning begin!

Looking forward to meeting you in March!
Sandra, thanks for taking a peak at my blog. I look forward to meeting you and all of our new colleagues.
Have a great time, Hiram. Can't wait to learn from you!
Congratulations! I would be jealous, except it is for admins and I am definitely not jealous of that ;)
Congrats! I will be there too and I am from Boydton, Virginia!!
Let's Google!!
Mr. C, I love writing that since I'm often referred to as such. ;)
