Although I have not been blogging over the summer, my mind has continuously been thinking about my old students, and my new ones. I took some time to read through the feedback letters my students wrote for me at the end of the school year. I am making some adjustments based on their suggestions. So thank you so much to all of you for your thoughtful feedback.
As for this year......hold on to your hats!!! I am so excited about the start of the new school year! The format of our classroom will be changing drastically. The year will begin with preparation for the iPad 1:1 rollout which will be taking place at the beginning of October. We will also be taking a look at Google and how we use it. After getting ourselves Google and iPad ready, we will be moving in to our Genius Hour format. I am going to ask my students to help me determine a new name for this concept as we will not be limiting it to one hour, or maybe it will be. Hmmmmm something to talk about.
Anyway....my head is spinning, and my heart is racing. I am sure there will be some mistakes made along the way, but that is how we learn. Get ready to explore your passions and share your finding with the world!! I cannot wait to meet you all. See you soon.
