Reflections…
I was sitting on my couch last night eating fortune cookies with my husband.
Here was my fortune:
What makes teaching such a beautiful profession to me is the amount of
compassion that is present in just a single day. That is at the heart of what
we all do. We care….we care a lot. I’m not sure that I actually found a true
fortune in the center of my cookie so much as I found a truth. Living
compassionately is hard work. It isn't just something you do…it is something
you live.

Some
stuff I’ve been reading…
36 Things Every 21st
Century Teacher Should Be Able To Do
I really enjoyed this list because it gives such a wide variety of
things to consider when thinking about how new technologies impact the
classroom. I found some really helpful, short descriptions for how to do certain
things on my computer.
TED-Education: Creative Problem
Solving
iTunes U course
I am more watching this than reading, but I thought it still applied.
The course is made up of 7 videos; the longest one is 27 minutes. So far, I’m
REALLY enjoying it.
Some
sites/apps worth exploring…
Awesome Stories
AWESOME SITE! There
is a calendar with links to really interesting articles for Science and Social Studies.
It is worth taking the time to check this out.
Teaching Channel
I know I learn the best by seeing teachers in action. This site lets
you watch videos of teachers teaching. Very cool.
