\"head<\/a>Climbing my way up…the Cohort21 Mountain…trying to be brave.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Just returned home from TO to a house full of girls, giggling and sharing funny stories. \u00a0It reminds me of my afternoon, where we spent the day sharing insights on various projects we each proposed to take on as our action plans. \u00a0Lots of laughs, sharing and collaborative work today. \u00a0 It reminded me of the quote above. \u00a0Getting to know new people and learn all about their classes and schools is very interesting and enlightening.<\/p>\n

One of the reasons our house is alive is our new exchange student from Australia, Chelsea, that arrived while I was at the conference. This young lady is quite brave, as she departed her home, she knew it was the last time she would see her friends, school, coaches and home because her family is moving from one area of Australia, Melbourne over to Sydney. \u00a0She is venturing over to Canada to see snow, spend Christmas with us and get a true Canadian experience. \u00a0When she returns, she will start a new school, join a new trapeze club and then start to build new friends. \u00a0It makes me pause and think about my day and my tasks and how at times I feel overwhelmed and wonder if I’ve bitten off more than I can chew, and then I put it in perspective and think about Chelsea. \u00a0She is here, not afraid, looking forward to the adventure she is about to embark on..I think I’ll take a lesson from her and just enjoy the fun!<\/p>\n

Now that phase 2 has begun, I’ve left with an idea I think I’ll pursue, but I still have a bit of hesitancy that maybe I should be more broad and not integrate my idea into the classroom. \u00a0Is it crazy to take on such a bold initiative when I really don’t know the program that well? \u00a0Maybe I should play it safe and just, well, play? \u00a0I have a stubborn streak I believe is inherited from my European family side, which makes me want to brave the challenge and see where it leads me. \u00a0After all, for me, really seeing the benefits of most software comes from real integration within my classroom. \u00a0Off to integrate Twitter into the class I go…bravely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
