My goal was to not wait until the last minute to write my reflection yet here I am on Tuesday night and just starting. I know I will probably wait until tomorrow to check it over then publish it. This is how I have always operated. I procrastinate until the last second and then get my work done, which during the school year often means I am working on Sunday evening. One of the things I have struggled with over the past few years is how to separate my personal and professional life. They seem to go together and I sometimes have a work day that never ends. One of the most important points I will take away from this course is "to be present." When I arrive home from work I need to be "home." I need to spend time with my husband and my children. I need this time with them. I also need that hour once a week to myself to try something new. I picked up some yarn today and am going to attempt a project with it. Another thing I will take away from our time together is the discovery of Twitter. I now see the value of it and love reading all the articles I have discovered through it.
Last week was very inspiring to me and I left "full" of so much new knowledge and so many new tools and resources. I am excited to bring this new knowledge back to the classroom in the fall and to share with my colleagues.
Adam, thank you! Thank you for your guidance and for introducing me to so many innovating educators. Good luck with your move and all the best to your family. It was a pleasure learning with you.
To the Bennington V I am looking forward to our journey together. See you in September!
