Lets Get it Started!!!
So...I have been thinking about a few things this past week.
One is how to make blogging work in the classroom and how to give teachers a sense of what the tool is useful for. The other is that I have all of these amazing professional books to read that seem to be doing nothing these days but piling up. I suppose I have come the realization that I need a little motivation to read them. Nothing crazy like reading a book a night but rather I was thinking of starting with a chapter a week.
I was thinking of writing a little blog post about the readings. Any one who is interested could be part of it and we could make a commitment to reading one chapter and writing a short response on a blog each week (a sort of online book club).
You can either write your own musings about the chapter or respond to others. To respond to others simply leave a comment on their blog post.
Lets start with "Never Work Harder Than Your Students & Other Principles" by Robyn R. Jackson. If you would like to read another book that would be fine also. Simply reference the book when you leave a blog post.
Please feel free to invite others to join as well!!
