Thankfulness
Last year about this time I wrote this:
wanted to take a moment and say a special thanks to all the members of
the educational blogging community. The perspective of the many
different voices is awesome! I love the sharing of the thinking, the
different ways we approach things, what is top on our minds, what is
making a difference, how we can use technology to empower our
students……
I feel even more thankful this year and this community has grown so.Wow!
That is so exciting! I am thankful not only for bloggers in our
educational community but for those who take the time
to comment on our blogs and especially those who comment to the student blogs. It seems that
every year I have that good fortune and someone steps up and really
becomes a part of the teaching and learning community, especially with
regards to the students. Lani Ritter is
one such commenter whom I have met this year. She is really making a
difference in the lives of a lot of students. She pointed me to an
example of a school which has become a laboratory of democracy,
challenging long held assumptions about how and why schools operate.I
wanted to share those links.
It’s good reading and my hope is that blogging will perhaps bring about
the shifts of thinking that will continue to push our schools in such
directions. Now that is uplifting! Here’s the links she shared:
So I wish everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving! We do have so much to be thankful for…..
