Challenge Week #6

Here we are, week 6 already!  I cannot tell you all enough what a great joy it has been to go on this summer learning journey with all of you.

As promised, some of your weekly challenges will not focus on technology.  This week is another one of those weeks.  This week it's about focusing on how much YOU MATTER, what an impact you have on our students, and how those two words can make a huge difference in our lives and the lives of our students.

I have followed Angela Maiers on Twitter for a while now.  I've had the pleasure of hearing her speak in person and she truly is a dynamic speaker and educator.  You will get to see that is just a few moments when you watch her TED talk. Your challenge this week is not directly from Angela, but a teacher named Arin Kress who was inspired by Angela's seemingly simple phrase.  First, start by reading a post from Arin's blog here.

Here is Arin's challenge for our Summer Learning group.

In her challenge, Arin mentions Angela's TED talk.  You may have seen it linked in the blog but you can also click here to view it.  Arin's letters can be found here.

 To see another example of the power of the #choose2matter movement and Arin's idea,  from our friend  @TechNinjaTodd click here.
