Kids must find their strengths and passion and understand how it can be used to create their own future.Sandra McGonaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16728504293773649340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5931834670826653533.post-2752276569237588572012-03-20T05:43:40.647-04:002012-03-20T05:43:40.647-04:00Great post Eric!Great post Eric!SocialSavvyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10138024041672465887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5931834670826653533.post-59848983214375265762012-03-19T07:16:39.041-04:002012-03-19T07:16:39.041-04:00Excellent list.

Project-based education allows for this. Look for a mention of this fine post in today's Net Nuggets at http://DrDougGreen.Com and keep up the good work. Douglas W.

We not only get feedback on our own efforts; routinely, participants get new ideas, new wrinkles on existing efforts, assistance with nagging concerns, links to more in depth postings, and new contacts for further interaction - and others I'm not remembering at the moment. And then the hash tags are used outside the regular chat times to add new material any time. And of course there are the multitude of blogs - individual ones large and small (such as mine: drbslearningsolutions.blogspot.com - shameless plug!) as well as the "grouped" ones such as Edutopia and Education Week. One web-based one that is far less valuable than it could be is the Webinar; in fact, I rarely join even free ones any more as they are too often shameless advertisements for sponsor products without saying so OR they are so jammed with content that no questions are addressed. And these are but a few of the online options!dr.Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18425455963347057864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5931834670826653533.post-56607124339013595652012-03-18T14:08:24.043-04:002012-03-18T14:08:24.043-04:00Thanks for posting this.

I heard Stager at Educon and found he offered the information I was looking for with respect to growing my program to best effect for student success and growth. I didn't take good notes that day--Stager talks really fast (must say I like that!) so now I have your notes to refer to. I'm also thinking about attending his summer workshop--so tempted, but not sure if the time allows.Teach Children Wellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15445866699209731255noreply@blogger.com
