Seven Hours Later
Seven Hours Later . . .
Here's what I'm thinking after today's activities:
- Wait, I have homework!? No one said there would be homework!
- Oh, actually, that's not too much homework. Is this what my students' feel when I tell them THEY have homework? Maybe I need to rethink how I assign work to be done at home. How can I make it more authentic and encourage their own exploration in learning?
- Yes, I have the opportunity to add yet another certificate to my resume! I like certificates. Adds credibility. (Ethos, baby!)
- Blogging. Not really something I thought I would ever do but I'm ready to jump in with both feet. (Can you tell? Because I've already written two posts!)
- I really appreciate the 4 Shifts Protocol when watching these "expert" videos. Once upon a time, I would have considered these tech-savvy. Now, not so much.
- I really hate the 4 Shifts Protocol when looking over my recent lessons. YIKES! I thought I was being innovative, engaging, and deep. I can already see the shift in my planning for my next units.
- This is scary . . . but I'm glad that I'm not alone. Thanks for being here with me.
I feel like I wrote this very same post on my first blog. Just throwing things out there where people can critique and evaluate is something that is uncomfortable (even scary) for me...yet I put my students in that situation regularly. The "old" in me wants to change the way I do some things because of that "bad" feeling I am experiencing, but the "young" tells me that I'm on the right track. Perhaps by luck that day, the same lesson that made me have that "uncomfortable" feeling, scored really well on the 4 Shifts Protocol. So here I am, like you, jumping in. Normally, I would proof read this comment 50 more times before pressing publish. However, to do this right, I guess I need to jump in with both feet. Here I go...
