Spring--A Time to Reflect and Grow

It's spring and we're on the verge of spring break. Perhaps, like me, you're looking at doing some yard work, tending your garden in some way--seeing what needs dividing, what needs moved, where you need a new plant, etc. Thus, I thought this week we'd do some similar reflection with our tech "gardens." I'm not providing you with anything new to consider this week, but rather, asking you to do one of the following, then come back here and tell us what you did. And, of course, have a great spring break!


  1. Revisit some of the tools and ideas we've covered in Learn and Earn. Identify one that you have implemented and tell us how its use is playing out in your classroom.
  2. Revisit some of the tools and ideas we've covered in Learn and Earn. Identify one that you were particularly intrigued by, but haven't really had the chance yet to truly investigate or use, then spend some time doing just that. Come back here and tell us about it.
  3. Identify something tech and learning related (that you didn't learn about in Learn and Earn) that you think has had a positive effect on your work and/or student learning. Tell us about it.
  4. Identify something tech related that you think could have a positive impact on your work and student learning but that you haven't tried yet (for whatever reason). Why do you think it would be a good thing? What are the roadblocks keeping you from trying it?
So, there, you have it--choose one of the above, then get outside and tend your real garden. :)
