Challenge Week #4

This week’s challenge has two parts:

Part 1:

Part 1, our main challenge this week comes from an amazing classroom teacher, blogger and digital leader, Pernille Ripp.

You can check out the short challenge video Pernille made HERE.

One of the greatest tools we have at our disposal is reflection. To actually sit and think. And to get our thoughts out about our growth and learning. So like Pernille says in the video above, find a way to reflect this week. Whether that be to write a blog post, have coffee with a friend, journaling, or just sitting and thinking alone.  You can also read an article from ASCD on improving our instruction using the art of reflection here.  The point is, stop and take some time to reflect.

Once you've completed this week’s Part 1 Challenge, fill out the Google form here

Part 2 (optional)- The @CanandaiguaPD  Twitter account needs a profile picture and banner. So, the first part of this week's challenge is to share your idea(s) or actual photos so we can change the egg and blank banner. Please make sure you own or have permission to use these images. That said, this gives me the opportunity to integrate digital citizenship into the challenge.

The International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) has a great resource book for teachers, Digital Connections in the Classroom. Chapter seven in the book, Copyright and the Free Web, is a good resource for guidance when working with students and copyright on the web.

Please share email ideas and photos for our Twitter page using any of the following:

Reflective practice is “a dialogue of thinking and doing through which I become more skillful.”
