The long run will begin. Everything has been set up and its time for the students to run. It is such an exciting time! I'm reinvigorated, I have some great ideas and I've been inspired by a lot of educators on the blogosphere and Twitter.
When this journey began in early December, I thought I was so far behind the others. Over the last month I have read, then read some more. It has been one of the most personally satisfying moments of my life... This is all about me and it feels great! This might seem like an odd statement, but it is so true. I have the ability to read nearly anything I want (boy is that list long!) and I have the ability ignore whatever I want.
As in all things dealing with the ego there is danger. I have the ability to surround myself with people who generally agree with me...Oh! I can see my ego grow even more... Yes, this could have some negatives and I must be careful to temper what I take in and what I choose to ignore. I must be careful to consider the benefits to my students and the curriculum before I jump on the next "cool web2.0 app"!
Hey this is sooo cool!!!
*thinks outloud* Maybe I'll do a characterization rap on Monday....Dangerous...Dangerous...
Shoutout to the blog postings that inspired me over the last week:
