This is the what I love about technology. I get my own personal professional development. I choose what I'm interested in, what moves me, things that I notice that I need to help me or my teaching to grow.
Choice
I love the ability to be interactive, to type in my questions, to see what questions others have from around the world!
Social, diverse, immediate feedback
I'm so excited, I have my headphones on, and notebook at the ready. The powerpoint starts and Aimee is introduced and begins presenting and answering questions that we already had the opportunity to send in to her earlier in the week.
Relevent and current
Aimee? I can't hear her. I check my sound. It's good. The last thing I heard Aimee say was, "Houston, we have a problem and then… silence. ACK! The host of the webinar and Aimee made a few more attempts but could not get her back to stay. Canceled, to be continued….
Technology is such a blessing when it works. ;) Aimee Buckner's book, "Notebook Know How" really changed how I thought about writing and how I taught writing. What a great webinar to attend (when it's rescheduled).
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up Dana, I'm going to check it out.
DeleteThe trials and tribulations of technology. I had almost the same thing happen, except it was on my end. So frustrating!
ReplyDeleteI love your profile statement. I, too, have a keen interest in the gifts and advantages a person with dyslexia can offer.
I know what you mean… I can't seem to learn enough about it!
DeleteI love both of Aimee's notebook books! I'm so jealous!! Can't wait to hear about it...once it's rescheduled! :) Technology is so cool!
ReplyDeleteI love all of Aimee's books and I have been rereading Nonfiction Notebooks to help me shift my thinking about NF in my classroom. Thanks for your slices I have enjoyed reading them.
