I wonder how many things a day we think and do not say. Even worse, what about the things we think and do not do.
Do we get so caught up in the status quo? The normal? The way things are? The ways things have always been?
How many of us wake up in the morning and the first thought, before we even have our morning caffeine, is, “What am I going to do today to make it better?”
Or, how many of us are so used to thinking that, that we just don’t even think it anymore.
Why is education the way it is? How do we let excuses get in the way of doing what’s right? Those answers don’t really even matter. It’s about what we do. Everyday. One hour at a time.
Tomorrow I’m going in, we’re going to try out VoiceThread in class and I’m going to let THEM figure it out. I’m going to move out of their way, let them explore it, and then? They’ll create something. Something they decide. My “Lesson Objective”? Learning. Because at the end of the day, that’s what I believe in.
