They (Justin) say a good blog ends with a question. But what’s my question going to be?<\/p>\n
Should I be asking something practical about the best way to implement all of the mind-blowing new tools I learned about at our first cohort meeting? How can I best manage my time, as well as all of these new tools and the data\/information they produce? Or maybe I should aim for something more profound: What will education look like in 2030?

Maybe I should take a break to clarify that I’m not overwhelmed, I’m invigorated. I’m grateful to be a part of a group of professionals that want to be better \u2013 that are committed to bettering themselves, their students, their schools, and the profession.

I loved being pushed out of my comfort zone and being made to feel like it was okay and actually a good thing to feel that way.<\/p>\n

Or how best to create what Wagner refers to as “just-in-time learners” But maybe I’d rather focus on how I can get my students using Diigo to create course resource banks. Oh, but maybe I want to know about the Klingenstein Summer Institute and other opportunities that exist for me to push my professional growth.<\/p>\n
Oh man, I’m also not supposed to make these blog entries too long. Maybe I’ll just end by asking, if I’m asking the right questions. Well, am I?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
