I appreciated your conversation around what you plan to work toward in the coming year. As an intervention teacher our push sometimes becomes around improving the reading so students can make accelerated progress, but I know I need to remember to keep the reader in mind first. I want to continue to find ways to make authentic conversations around real reading a part of our time together each day.<br /><br />Cathy Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08233792477358685156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7059745967759944669.post-34533385543585666892015-07-26T19:31:44.842-07:002015-07-26T19:31:44.842-07:00I love that you are already thinking about what yo...I love that you are already thinking about what your next steps will be! This is so important as we put into practice the things we've learned from our summer professional development. All too often, I feel like I lose track of what I learned. A plan will definitely help keep me on track!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13652775885614986773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7059745967759944669.post-33406593242018309932015-07-23T13:03:29.001-07:002015-07-23T13:03:29.001-07:00It's great to hear you write goals that are th...It's great to hear you write goals that are thoughtful and authentic, Michele. Sometimes we would say we were doing "Goldilocks thinking" - really it was the 3 bears. The goals not too few, not too many, but just right. I have made lists of apps I know & how they work, and then offered the ones I believe might suit a particular task (meet the goal) to students & then allow them to explore & choose. Of course I did have older students, but even younger ones are able to figure out quite a bit. I hope you do give Evernote a try. It is user friendly! And best wishes for the coming year!Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7059745967759944669.post-33431876454996283642015-07-23T12:48:25.748-07:002015-07-23T12:48:25.748-07:00I think it is so important for all of us to share ...I think it is so important for all of us to share what we have learned during #cyberPD. The book has been both refreshing and empowering. We should share with as many people as we can.Karen Szymusiakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07989718657089668579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7059745967759944669.post-10376117812625063662015-07-23T12:41:18.221-07:002015-07-23T12:41:18.221-07:00Michele,

As far as the ongoing assessments mentioned, I think I would highlight just as you did. Same colors and all. Room for growth! I particularly want to dig into Evernote as well! I hope Cathy knows what she is getting into with a crash course on EN in Voxer! :) <br /><br />Thanks for sharing your thoughts and joining in the #cyberPD conversations! I know we will continue conversing all year!<br />MichelleMichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08895290340118654990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7059745967759944669.post-58270822171786849772015-07-23T12:23:16.076-07:002015-07-23T12:23:16.076-07:00Evernote has been on my list to try for years now....Evernote has been on my list to try for years now. I've got the app downloaded--that's a start, right? Of course, I've had the app downloaded for years now too. SIGH. Authenticity is also a big takeaway for me--I really appreciate their focus on making sure that the literacy practices of our classrooms match the literacy practices of actual human beings reading & writing in the world.
