Good thing this session was in the morning! My mind was still fresh and new. This session presented a lot of good tools and ideas to incorporate into the classroom. I will definitely be exploring all the possibilities. These notes were taken very quickly with me typing like a mad man on my little iPad Qwerty keypad.
Here are the notes I took...
Talkwithmedia.com. AWESOME website

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.
