SOLS: Learning and Sharing

Slice of Life Stories hosted



There is so much information out there in cyberspace.
I know I can't keep up, but I read and watch what I can when I can.
This last week, I shared many items of interest -- to me -- with my colleagues.


Who knows what they think when I share . . .
If something caused me to ponder and reflect,
then I want to share it with others.

Anyone can take it or leave it:
It's about planting a seed allowing us to stop and think.
And I'm thankful for those who can just say it better than I can.


I have a passion for learning and sharing --
Making me a better

  2. I love that video, but it scares me too. There is so much that I don't know in the electronic world. Life changes quickly. Thanks for sharing these links.

  3. I think sometimes on-line communities are like the jigsaw strategy. We each share with each other and take back new information to our own groups.

    I think this helps each of us to keep learning. It also helps us to share what inspires us. I am glad you are part of the on-line community.

  4. That is great to hear that you shared such inspiring things with your colleagues. I'm glad you shared it with us as well! The promise poem was something I needed to hear today! I hope your week is going well.

  5. It's wonderful to share what inspires you with others. I try to do that whenever I post something on Facebook (or when I tweet something that piques my interest on Twitter -- which isn't as often). I never know what people think unless I see a comment. Comments are so much better than "likes" aren't they? They're much more telling.

    Continue sharing and others will continue to be inspired by you.

  7. I didn't know some of these, so carry on Michelle with the sharing. It is so like the Jigsaw teaching that Ruth shared (above). In a community, pooling our knowledge, is powerful stuff. Thanks much!

  8. Wow, great poem! I liked your uncertainty about sharing with your colleagues -- not sure what they would get out of it, but then feeling glad for planting the seed nonetheless. That's how I feel when I blog -- not sure if anyone will care about my ideas, but hoping I plant a seed with someone! Also, I had never read the 12 things or the promise poem, and they were both amazing! Thanks for sharing! (I'm going to print them out and put them by my desk!)

  9. You know when someone's way of thinking just seems like your own thoughts--only better? That's how I feel when I read your posts. I am always nudged by what you share. Thanks once again!

  10. It is a great thing to inspire others. Showing that you are vulnerable and sharing, that is inspiring.

  11. Keep sharing because that's how you learn - by getting response back from your sharing. That's what my conference is all about this week - networking with other OP's who do the same job I do. It's interesting learning their insights into what we are doing.
    Thanks for sharing with me - always. Love ya bunches - can't wait to visit. M

An Interview with Educator/Momma/Writer Ruth Ayres Celebrating #EnticingWriters + Giveaway!

I love sharing book titles with close friends, so I'm happy you are here! I want to share a book that you must add to your to-be-read list. Ruth Ayres has a brand new book titled  Enticing Hard-To-Reach Writers   published by Stenhouse Publishers. It's another must read from Ruth. There are many professional development books available to learn about mastering our craft of teaching.   However, there are only a few that make a true impact -- and this is one book that weaves raw truth, research, practical ideas, and story all in one {cute} little package.  In  Enticing Hard-To-Reach Writers , Ruth allows her worlds to collide during the creation:  "In this book, I entwine my three story lines as educator, momma, and writer." (p. 6) And she does this in an amazing way through sharing stories of her family, adoption, children living in hard places -- and doing their best  -- and healing. She shares how we can use research to understand how to
