Blogging to Learn

I am a blogger. My blog is a chronological and searchable record of my own growth and development as an educator. It's filled with ideas, inventions and reflections. I learn more from blogging than from any other professional activity I participate in. I blog to learn.

Naturally, I hope to learn a lot over the course of the next month as our 5th grade team begins a long anticipated 1:1 iPad journey. Blogging about the experience will make me accountable for taking the time to thoughtfully reflect and pursue ways to kick the learning up a notch, so it is with great pleasure that I launch yet another blog.
