Wednesday on Thursday

I really enjoyed the group learning yesterday.  The "throwdown" (love that term) is a method I use a lot in my classroom.  We learn so much from each other.  Google forms and presentation are life changers, and I cannot wait to show them to the kids.

I spent some time on http://www.teachercertificationdegrees.com/top-blogs/elementary-teacher/
scanning the good, the bad, and the ugly.  Lots of great ideas.

I also started to watch J.K. Rowlings' Harvard commencement speech.  She brilliantly discusses failure and risk.  The first of which I demonstrate often in the classroom : - )
