Announcing the 2019 #cyberPD Book!

Announcing the 2019 #cyberPD Book!

Check out our NEW #cyberPD MeWe Community to learn more!
We can't wait for YOU to join in the conversations!

________________________________________________________________

It's that time of year again! Cathy and I have finally selected our #cyberPD book for our summer learning. It's never an easy decision.

Conversations go back and forth.
Ideas fly.
Standards are high.
Book stacks full of possibilities are higher.
And then ... it happens.
The just right book emerges from the stacks.

The book selection is important, but what makes this PD event truly successful are the amazing teachers and educators across the globe that support each other through the learning process.

YOU make #cyberPD a success!
Thank YOU for joining us ... whether this is your very first year, or your 9th year, or somewhere in between, we are thrilled YOU are joining in!

This summer, our #cyberPD title we will be reading is ...

Happy reading ... and writing!

_________________________________________________

Here's how #cyberPD works:

TODAY ... Order the book and start reading!

THE FIRST THREE WEEKS of JULY ... Participants read and discuss a section of the book by sharing thoughts each week around specific chapters. We have seen so many creative ways of sharing from a blog post, to visual sketch notes, to videos, to a brief post on our MeWe Community page ... it's really up to you!

**We encourage you to respond/comment on at least 3 other participants reflections. This is where the deeper learning happens!**

THE FOURTH WEEK of JULY ... A final Twitter chat to share highlights of our learning!

A Conversation with My Writer Self

I don't know what to write about today. [Scratching head. Bulging eyes staring at the blank screen.] Write about the ordinary. Write about the little things. Just write and write. I know, I know. But I don't know what to write. [Shoulder shrug. Clicking fingertips on the keyboard.] Open your writer's notebook. Search for an idea, a seed, a spark. Let it grow, ignite and you will write. My writer's notebook? Oh, that little book that has been ignored? Unattended? Left blank? [Digging and searching for my notebook.] Live the life of a writer. Ideas breathe all around you every day. In and out. In and out. I know. I know. [Dusting the notebook off. Cracking it open as if it hasn't been opened in years.] It's time to revive the notebook. Open your eyes and ears to your world that's waiting to be captured and shared. I know what to write about today., but first, let me write down a few ideas. [Bringing my wr...

{bedtime stories} 2/31 #sol16

The March Slice of Life Story Challenge hosted at the Two Writing Teachers Join us for a month of writing! _________________________________________________________ "Time to head upstairs. PJs on and let's brush teeth!" My very favorite time of the day is bedtime with the girls. I hurry and hustle and bustle them along, so that we have plenty of time to settle into a bedtime story or two (or more like three). Each girl picks out a book and then one usually snags a third. "Mommy, this is one that you want to read. Right?" When the girls are completely ready for bed, we meet in my bedroom to snuggle in the big bed. I'm in the middle, sandwiched between the two girls. Heads resting close by, slowly slithering closer, they each nestle on my shoulder to get a closer look at every ...

sols: a gift of words

Slice of Life hosted at the Two Writing Teachers . Join in and share a slice of your life. One of the best gifts I give myself is time to write Monday evenings for the Tuesday Slice of Life. That writing time allows me the opportunity to think about the little moments in my life. Sometimes those moments are big and important. Other times it's a funny moment that made me laugh. Or a celebration, a word, a poem about the ordinary life. I'm still amazed that I have been writing each week for over three years! Yet, there is another gift . . . My mom and dad have published my writing. Just this past Christmas, I received volume five of my blog writing. Yes, I have five books f...
