It's my 1st Blog Post! I've been thinking about starting a blog for some time now, and the #8weeksofsummer Blog Challenge was just what I needed to get motivated. So..... “This post is week 1 of 8 in the 8 Weeks of Summer Blog Challenge for educators.”
This week's Challenge Prompt: Reflecting on the past school year, what is your biggest area for professional growth going into next school year? I am very motivated to learn more about infusing technology into professional learning opportunities. I've been watching the schools around me join the 1:1 movement. I've watched them evolve from using technology as an "after the learning" activity to using technology as an avenue for learning. I've cheered them on! I've championed their bravery and courage! And yet.......I've continued to plan professional learning opportunities in the same fashion as I've been doing for years. I know, I know......how can I ask educators to try new things and embed new practices......while I continue to bury my head in the sand and pretend that my world of teaching isn't changing. So, I'm biting the bullet...is there a more tech savvy way of that saying?!?!?!? See? I have so much to learn! So my challenge to myself is practice what you preach! The "next" school year may not be here yet, but I am already starting my learning journey. The hardest part of any journey is taking the first step. 1st Step Taken! This summer I am leading two online book studies - using different platforms for each - you know, I'm trying them on for size.. And I'm experimenting with this "blog thing." Right now, I don't know what I don't know - so any suggestions or pointers are welcome and greatly appreciated!!
