Teacher connecting with others

In the last few weeks we have researched and discussed some interesting topics about 21 st century learning, information literacy, and reading cultures. I have also grown in my knowledge and skill set as a blogger. I have learned how to imbed videos, hyperlink webpages, label key words, and comment on others’ pages. Some key takeaways I have learned after all this exploration and learning is to take risks and try something new every week; be it a reading initiative, technology app, or manageable on-going professional development. “If you never make mistakes, then you have never tried something new”.                                                             ...

How can I continue to develop my own skills, learning, pedagogy, and professional development on my own? I will continue to develop my skills, learning, and pedagogy by continuing to attend professional development seminars and workshops in areas of interest to me (for example; technology, primary literacy, student engagement, environment, and assessment). I will continue to use my Twitter account, join district wiki, blog, or teacher librarian and primary educator sites, collaborate with my fellow colleagues, as well as continue to visit the public library and utilize the UBC Learning Resource Center. Below are some links to the webpages I would like to stay connected with.                                                   ...
