Demos
If I could speak for everyone, there are many gems in each demo that we are experiencing and I can’t wait to get into the class this fall and begin the learning journey with our students. Along with these demos comes the reality of the effect technology has on us and how the growing process affects us each day when we teach. Tech is here to stay as long as we have electricity, so use as an advantage.
I concur, Mary! Thanks to Monica and Latonia for the great snacks! I enjoyed Emily’s presentation because it was a wake up call regarding texting. We all know it is not going away so it is our responsibility to integrate it into our disciplines, especially writing. Rosanna’s demo opened my eyes to early writers and how difficult it is for some students to write. Sometimes, as teachers, we must step back and empathize with the children but also provide them with those learning experiences that they are unfortunately deprived of. Author’s chair was WONDERFUL as usual…so much feeling and inspiration! Have a great weekend!
Yesterdays author’s chair was great! I adored the humor, sparring between Laura and Karl, quick wit and of course, the emotions behind Father’s Day, loss of loved ones and the difficulties we are all dealing with on a daily basis. I love this class and all involved because it is from the heart and passion that we are all about.
