In the past few weeks, I have really seen the value in getting connected with others via the web. I recently joined Twitter to keep up on what is happening on the cutting edge of education policy. There are some amazing people out there teaching and researching, their creativity and knowledge far exceeds what my brain even imagined! Inspiring.
However, I still love the connection with others face to face and look forward to reconnecting with my school colleagues whom I work with on a daily basis. I find that I really miss them as we all decompress from a rather difficult school year. At a celebratory dinner a few nights ago, it was about relationships, not about curriculum and planning. We were women, mothers, wives....not just teachers, and it was lovely.
Staying open and learning from all the people in your professional and personal life makes us better educators.
