Time of Year to Evaluate

In education, this time of year is for reflecting. Thinking about your year as a teacher, friend, leader, etc. It is valuable so that you can grow and learn from failures, glean from your successes, file those true and tried activities that worked and just re-evaluate yourself as a person. I ran across this wonderful tweet that to me shares what most folks want in leaders. See what you think:



Let me go ahead and put in a plug for Twitter! It is not a place that I go to see what my friends are eating or what movie they are watching. I visit to collaborate with educators about important issues and gain numerous resources and support. That is possible when you have built and carefully selected your PLN on Twitter. It is something that many continue to refine and grow. I hope that you will consider giving Twitter another try! There are many resources available for beginners! Here is my favorite Twitter for Beginners by Amber Coggins which you can download at this site. I would be happy to step you through the process!

Make a PDF or Book from your BLOG!


Teachers! This is such a great reason to create a CLASS BLOG next year. You can put the class blog into a PDF or Book as an EOY memoir to take home. Students also can download a PDF of their SCHOOL blogs that they posted during the year. I would make sure that they completed an EOY entry with a final reflecion of the school year and their choice of the most valuable learning. I found this from Richard Byrne’s great website. He has some great ideas that are easy to implement. If you have a blog, follow his steps to download it. I will be using Blogbooker for mine, since I use Blogger. Thank you Richard!
