This session included information that I already knew, but there were definitely some nuggets of new learning.
Kan-Ed now includes the common core standards. You can also save your searches while working in Kan-Ed.
Googlealerts are good to put in your own children's name to know if their name is being posted. It's also good for research to gather information on a specific topic.

Moving forward is a good thing. If you don't move, you become stagnant. If you become stagnant, you smell. (I'm going with a creek bed analogy here...stay with me). "It Is What It Is" helps us to keep our sanity as we try new things, but at the same time we should never settle for "what it is". We should constantly reflect and learn to move our teaching and our student's learning to higher levels so the classroom doesn't turn stale.
