Attitude is everything. Everywhere. In every situation. A person’s attitude not only contributes to one’s own feelings, but also the feelings of others. A person’s attitude is contagious. If you have a positive, optimistic, attitude, that is what you will receive in return, for the most part. If you possess a negative disposition, you will getContinue reading “Positively Positive – Attitude IS Everything!”

Self-Assessment – Oh the Horror!
Self-Assessment … it’s a (long) process. We all know the importance of Assessment AS learning …. This is when students (and adults, for that matter) reflect, and self-assess their learning that real long-term learning and growth can occur. When the students in my Health and Career Education classes completed their end of the term self-assessmentContinue reading “Self-Assessment – Oh the Horror!”
App-Learning Curve
Having iPads at my school and having to manage them and their apps has proven to be an interesting task. If you know me at all, you would know that when I am involved in a project I usually jump in with both feet. That’s what I’ve done with the iPads. Knowing that we wantedContinue reading “App-Learning Curve”

7 Month’s of Learning Wordle

Open Your Hearts
I’ve been doing a great deal of reflecting these days (as I always do), but this has been a bit different. I usually reflect upon my practise, decisions, teaching, leadership, parenting, and relationships. Last night, with all that has been happening at my school lately, I did a lot of reflecting on the students atContinue reading “Open Your Hearts”

Here we are, at the beginning of a new era in education – 21st Century learning, where technology may play an integral role. For many of us, it is a very exciting time, full of possibilities. For others (and even sometimes the above group may feel this way at times as well), to say it isContinue reading “Encourage, Don’t Shame”
Everyday Learning
I haven’t been blogging or tweeting much these days. It’s just been so busy. Work has been busy, but so has my home life. With all this busyness, my learning has been going strong. Here are some of the things I’ve learned over the past couple of weeks. 1. It is going to be uber-challengingContinue reading “Everyday Learning”
Things to Remember for 2012
I was hoping to do more blogging over this holiday season, but, as you can see, that just didn’t happen. With my entire family being sick, Christmas shopping and the festivities that followed, and now the planning of birthdays (my baby turns 1 tomorrow and my other two have birthdays in January), things have beenContinue reading “Things to Remember for 2012”
