Come on and share

Do it.

Right now go ahead and share one thing that has helped you in your profession lately.

Maybe it has been a new app.

Maybe a quote, a suggestion from someone in your occupation.

Maybe a book or magazine or article you read.

Maybe you just had a great cup of coffee.

For me, it has been several things.

I feel rejuvenated. My Flat Classroom Teacher class has presented me with a whole new set of ideas to try to incorporate into my teaching. I am one who loves the challenge of making it work. I am almost upset that I only have a few weeks left of school.

I did say ALMOST. I love my break.

I have been helped by my kids who teach me to appreciate the small things in life like playing Cheese Tag.

Don't forget the great reading of Seth Godin.

Last, my new lists on Twitter. I created a list for my edubloggers(you want to be part of it leave me your twitter name) and a list for my Flat Classroom friends.

What is yours?

Hi there,

Like you I continue to be challenged by the Flat Classroom Certified teachers course. Am learning so much and struggling to keep up. :)

Reading a lot of books including Seth Godwin's but my latest read is one Julie Lindsay suggested as the author is speaking at the Canadian International School on Monday evening and I am going to hear him.

The book is by Yong Zhao called Catching Up or Leading the Way. It is a fascinating read as he talks about having been educated in the Chinese system and now an educator in the United States. He struggles with the fact that while the US is working hard to move towards the Chinese system of education in many ways the Chinese Education system is working just as hard to move towards the old American model. Both have value....
