One thing that helped me is starting with a small group who became the "blog coaches" and then they were able to other kiddos-we followed the ask 3 then me rule. We were able to blog once a week-one thing I want to do better is commenting-didn't get to that enough...and would like to have more of a global focus on how to make a difference as well...<br />Just like Pete the Cat always says, remember, "It's all good!"Amy Ruddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18177520075043676835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1597522349823417206.post-76070446902924462802013-07-11T19:08:31.183-04:002013-07-11T19:08:31.183-04:00We've all coasted at one point or another (if ...We've all coasted at one point or another (if you've taught long enough, that is!). Darren knows this too because he reminds us to never stop asking what is next; to never be content where you are. I know in my micro board that it is easy to rest on your laurels. It is easy to look around, and think, heck, I am fine. And we came from a time when we would never have known any differently. But here we are, connecting with teachers across grades, disciplines, subject areas, and time zones. We can never go back. We can never say that 'this is good enough' again. <br /><br />For some, this perspective may be intimidating. I don't thing it is for the #cyberpd teacher. <br /><br />Your frank reflection is perfect. <br /><br />Thanks, <br />JulieAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12673579851516502643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1597522349823417206.post-40970049152102505562013-07-11T05:10:49.387-04:002013-07-11T05:10:49.387-04:00Maria,

When working with my student teachers, my writing group, and my family, I often remark "Pick one things and do it well. That will motive you to do more." I'm so glad for a PLN that encourages everyone and shares both successes and perceived failures.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14984276542187529544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1597522349823417206.post-21098125068214266832013-07-10T22:37:11.126-04:002013-07-10T22:37:11.126-04:00I love that we both referred to that same quote ab...I love that we both referred to that same quote about blowing the walls off the classroom! And you are absolutely right - we need to focus on what we can do with what we have. Small steps will lead to big changes!

I think that you are right that we, as adults, now do this and we need to allow/encourage our students to do the same. It does seem to require some thought about the best ways to go about it, though, doesn't it?<br /><br />JillJill Fischhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13162764425985636884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1597522349823417206.post-58912435995875176872013-07-10T08:59:05.604-04:002013-07-10T08:59:05.604-04:00Maria,

Knowing you, I can't help but wonder if one woman's "complacency" isn't another woman's half marathon. **wink wink" <br /><br />Thanks for sharing the benefits of a scribe. I know how much I just like having students put lessons in their own words during learning ---- sometimes my intention and their take always are a little mismatched ---- so I am sure a scribe would be a great way to reflect on teaching.<br /><br />Next year I will have 3 desktops, two iPods and one iPad. Oh the possibilities! I think it will allow students to have more choice and ownership of learning, creating, and sharing. I am sure I will touching base with you for help.<br /><br />Cathy Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08233792477358685156noreply@blogger.com
