It's spring break. You'd think that would be enough to make a person happy, but honestly it is just the start of it all. Today I met with Julie Johnson and a group of friends to get ready for the Columbus Area Writing Project's summer work. We will be working to write about digital literacy and the way it has changed what we do as learners and teachers. There were so many things to love about this:
- I was back in Ramseyer Hall where I took many of my education classes years ago.
- Listening to a professor talk about the work we would be doing. There's something about the way they talk in the academic world that I always find so interesting.
- The possibility of the road ahead.
- There's something about trusting a process enough to know a direction is all we need to begin.
- Working alongside people you know will push your thinking.
- Discussions that make me think and revise what I know.
I always enjoyed those kinds of challenges. You definitely grow and learn a lot. All the best in your work ahead.
ReplyDeleteYikes, Spring Break is a time to relax! Make sure you take time to have a break as well. This is an exciting project to be apart of though.
ReplyDeleteNot Spring Break here yet, but I'm in the thick of analyzing our road ahead, pulling together all the threads in our curriculum, and because I'm a curriculum nerd, loving every minute of it! Great post! Love the planning part of teaching!
ReplyDeleteThis line says it all~
