I am still as inspired, encouraged, and motivated as I was while experiencing the conference. Yesterday exceeded all criteria on my typically self-created critical convention/workshop rubric ( really, I have one. I value my time and expect to leave a workshop learning knowledge and skills that will assist in making me a better educator).
If you don't use Evernote, I highly encourage you to try it out. I took notes on my iPad while at the conference - and opened them up this morning on my computer (no importing/exporting needed). Instead of posting my notes, I pasted them into wordle.net.
Remember:
- We need to grow in our profession.
- To grow in our profession, we need to have engaging conversations with colleagues in the field with the knowledge and skills we need or are ready to acquire.
- To have these engaging conversations, we need to take the time to attend professional development (on- or off-line).
- When we are growing professionally, we are also growing personally.
