I'm glad I was. I finally took a look at your blog and it doesn't look so scary after all. It will be a great way to connect with youth in my new job. I may even start a blog of my own...imagine that! see you tomorrow Hi Betty,

I was online to print a copy of my intent but of course I was lead astray. I’m glad I was. I finally took a look at your blog and it doesn’t look so scary after all. It will be a great way to connect with youth in my new job.
I may even start a blog of my own…imagine that!

see you tomorrow

Michele suggested us to read "Literacy of the 21st Century" http://connect.educause.edu/Library/EDUCAUSE+Quarterly/ConnectingtheDigitalDotsL/ about the new skills students may develop in classroom projects that fully accept and work with the new technology; in my school, we are just starting, but in great enthusiasm. @Michele,Thank you for indicating this book; I noticed this eloquent expression: "right-brained kinds of skills that are less “logical” and more creative" - we can intuitively feel that, it is somehow "in the air". Ines Betty,

I just know that for most of us it might well be 311 days worth of challenge, but that is all ok! But the 31 day challenge activities are all well worth doing.

(You can find a great presentation about the latter book here: http://tinyurl.com/5q7zj5 "A Whole New Mind," while a few years old, is a must-read. It talks about the fact that the best jobs in the future are going to require right-brained kinds of skills that are less "logical" and more creative. Changed my life because it really crystallized for me how we need to be thinking differently about learning and what we're teaching people for the future. And it's an interesting read, too. I highly recommend it. Don’t worry about doing the activities if you’re finding that you’re commenting more and finding new resources! :-)
