Techie Tuesday

After my last two posts about the importance of sharing, I took up a new challenge on Twitter and you can join in. It doesn't have to be on Twitter or any social media.

The challenge is all about sharing! Cate Tolnai, a fabulous CUE leader, started the #TrickleChallenge. She is encouraging all of us to just SHARE with each other in any format. You are welcome to share on Twitter and use the #TrickleChallenge hashtag or any social media, but also just share with your colleagues at your PLC or in the hallways. As she has reiterated many times, there is no WRONG way to share!

I crazily decided to take the plunge and join the amazing @CateTolnai with her #TrickleChallenge.

Fear of Commitment: Part of me wants to jump right in and say all 365 days (even though I am starting on day 3), but part of me is afraid to jump in that deep. The "What Ifs" start popping up... What if I miss a day? What if I have nothing to share? What if I fail? Then my Growth Mindset comes in! What if I miss a day? Then I will share double the next day and it will be okay! What if I have nothing to share? Crazy! There is always SOMETHING to share. What if I fail? The only way to truly fail is to give up and not even try.

Well, here we go! I am committing to sharing 365 days this year in some format. I will add more blog post, share pictures and ideas on Twitter, and I have been toying with the idea of doing a vlog from inside my classroom. To make up for Days 1 & 2, I'll be posting additional blog posts with ideas so some days will be double share day!

Looking for a fun activity to start the year off with? Check out Sean Farhey's #OneWord2018 Hyperdoc! It's a great way for kids to focus everything into one word. We watched the video below from the movie Facing The Giants and it had a huge impact on the kids as to why we are selecting one word instead setting an actual goal.

What tends to happen is when we see the goal line in front of us, we reach it but then do not continue to strive to go much further past. This clip shows that we are capable of so much more than we ever thought if we do not put a limit on it.
