I had a fun day at #FETC- if you’re here today, you likely did too. By the end of the day I was getting tired (as I’ve pointed out, it’s A LOT of walking). I was just getting ready to leave when I saw a whole bunch of teachers clustered around the Flocabulary booth. At… Read More Breaking It Down With @Flocabulary
I’d like to point out that I’ve never met a ‘Sir’ anyone, so it was very exciting to meet Sir Ken Robinson. I also got to experience his keynote address from the front row (thank you, FETC Insiders program). There were so many great parts to this keynote (and I’m not typically a big fan… Read More Keynote at #FETC: Sir Ken Robinson
Now that FETC week is here, I’m putting the finishing touches on my packing. My clothes are packed (don’t forget sweaters…it can be chilly inside the Conference Center) and now I’m packing my bag for the conference. Do you ever wonder what you should bring with you for conferences? It’s taken me a few years… Read More Packing For #FETC
Today was a pretty exciting day. You might not know that Lacy & I record a podcast called 2 Tech Coaches & A Microphone (we really need to get our teammate Margaret in some episodes). In the episode we recorded today, we were able to interview Adam Bellow. For those of you not familiar with… Read More #BreakoutEDU
Now that winter break is over (and it’s been a wild one here in Charleston, SC), I’m really looking forward to the end of January, which brings FETC in Orlando. I’ve been looking through the sessions available as part of the conference and I was glad to see that there were so many options that support personalized… Read More Learning at #FETC
As many of you know, I was at Learning Forward‘s Annual Conference this week. This was the first time that I’ve been to a big conference that wasn’t specifically focused on Education Technology and it was pretty great. It was interesting to connect with so many educators over learning, and while technology definitely made an… Read More #Reflecting on #LearnFwd17
On Sunday, I (along with some of my favorite colleagues, as well our newest member of EduTechnically Speaking, Lacy) head to Orlando for the Learning Forward annual conference. I am excited to connect and learn with over 3,400 educators from all over the country! It’s my first Learning Forward (#LearnFwd17), but definitely not my first… Read More Conference Ready
Earlier today, I was reflecting on the amazing work that we all do in our ‘business’. I know that it can often be easy to slide into the doldrums of grumpiness about so much in eduction, and for those of you that know me well know that I am by no means an artificially positive… Read More Belatedly Thankful
One of the first questions I get from teachers when they first start with station rotation is “How do I know my kids are doing what I’m asking them to do?” I love that this is one of the first things teachers want to know, because it shows me that they’re thinking ahead to the… Read More Accountability In Station Rotations
Right now in San Francisco attendees are waking up for the PL Summit. I find myself seriously wishing that I was there, which is a pretty big surprise to me. At the start of this year, I was not as enthusiastic about personalizing education for students. Not to say that I didn’t think it was a… Read More #PLSummit & Reflection
