In today's Digital Tool Tuesday, I thought it would be beneficial not to bombard you with another new tool after you just had a day of learning about a lot of tools, so let's talk for a minute about our awesome staff and the great PD we had Monday. A spark. That's all it takes for someone's curiosity to burst into a roaring fire, a determination to learn something, try something new. Hopefully, you experienced a spark in one of your PD sessions on Monday. Monday provided us with some amazing sessions. I love two things about days like Monday: 1. I love that our district/administration acknowledges how talented our staff is and allows us to share what we know; and 2. I love the willingness that our WRMS staff has to learn new things! The sessions that I was in were full of teachers fully engaged and truly wanting to learn new things to implement in their classrooms. In fact, I know teachers were already using Dasan's Beekast in their rooms today! It's that willingness to learn that we must make sure we transfer over to our students.
If you need any resources from your sessions, or you are curious about a session you were unable to attend, go to our Sept. 25th PD website and go to the specific session you are looking for. I am still adding resources to the site as they come in, so if you don't see something added yet, check back in a couple of days and it may be there. You can access resources from Monday afternoon on the Classroom Instruction that Works website as well. Jeff will be adding resources there as we go through the training. I am hoping that the Aurasma app will be added to the iPads soon so that teachers can start using it with students. Additionally, if you are interested in using virtual reality in your classroom, I have six headsets that you can check out to use. I would be happy to help with either in your classrooms! You guys truly are the best staff around, and you make this job of mine so amazing. I am so fortunate to get to work with all of you!
