my kids start Monday ... Will see some today ... Can't believe they're coming in to help me get my room together.
what are your big plans for the year?

Is this an improv meeting? I've been back for 3 weeks.
I love how our group of friends all miss our chats and are eager to get back to it!
I think we are all ready for it to start back!
I hope so ... I wonder in knows if is returning
yes, I miss the energy to start my day provided by

Well, we know he's awake.
lol. So true! However I haven't caught up with him in a bit. Hopefully soon.
Hopefully we'll get official notification of the return of soon!
I haven't gone anywhere! I'm in Sydney Australia where it is Term 3. Perhaps we should set a Qs to discuss?
Meanwhile, we can still gather to encourage each other! Have a great day! I'm off to inspire 63 5th grdrs! https://t.co/VJgcTvsal7
Hopefully we'll get official notification of the return of soon!
Here's a Question for discussion. What inspires you to get up each day and do what you do in the world of education?
the drive to make a difference ... It is why I teach
The opportunity to help a T make a lesson that wows Ss.
What ed tech tools do you all use to help with collaborative learning?
Ditto! Even at whole system leadership level, knowing I can have a +ve impact on Ts and their work with Ss=energising
Yes! And helping a young T find their feet is equally rewarding.
Sydney Catholic Schools is 1:1 in all High Schools (Grades7-12). All schools K-12 have access to Google Apps for Ed
That is great - which apps do you use in particular?
Absolutely, and to mentor their thinking towards the more positive cultures and practices
we have meetings all day today and students first day is tomorrow!
Google Sites, Google Communities, Shared Google Drive, Many Ts use Blogger for class blog, etc
Thanks so much for letting me know. Do you use sites outside of the google community?
Spot on! The coaching function is equally useful and empowering for Ts and Leaders
I have heard that Blogger is really good!
I hope their purposeful for you and not a 1 hour infomercial!
I hope their purposeful for you and not a 1 hour infomercial!
It is more intuitive, which helps make it accessible.

required school business stuff ... Legal expectations ... Code of ethics
Yes, that's what I mean by 'good reason'. Hopefully throughout the year they are more PD
that's the stuff. Infomercial, but important stuff nonetheless
Hold on a sec... Infomercials aim to *manipulate* me?? ;) (Meeting #1 kicks off in 90 minutes.)
Big pic keeps me sharp for due-process pieces re safety. Getting along well w/colleagues helps us all through other bits
