    The entire year has flown by and so many new strategies and lessons have been experimented both successfully and not so much. Living life. #pln365

    Hi friends. Robert, jumping in from an unseasonably warm Cleveland! #pln365
  • PaulONeill1972 - Moderator Dec 18 @ 8:39 PM EST
    Lots of great things to think about this year. Perhaps my biggest reflection is thinking back on the many changes that have taken place for me professionally in 2018. I miss my old friends but made some great new connections. 💪💪#pln365
  • PaulONeill1972 - Moderator Dec 18 @ 8:40 PM EST
    That’s a great way to look at it. What was your favorite experiment this year? #pln365

  • sew1080 Dec 18 @ 8:41 PM EST
    This year has been crazy good! Teachers are rocking technology and pedagogy, I attended my first ISTE, and being a part of the #4OCFpln has given me so many opportunities I wouldn't have had without them! #PLN365
  • PaulONeill1972 - Moderator Dec 18 @ 8:42 PM EST
    @Cathig8r share with us a reflection from this year. #pln365
  • PaulONeill1972 - Moderator Dec 18 @ 8:43 PM EST
    @kmurfitt1 any special reflections to share from this year? #pln365
  • LynetteWnek Dec 18 @ 8:44 PM EST
    My favorite is still my tea party for Mockingbird. So much of my soul was invested to try to have opportunities for success for all my students to shine. Loved every drop of sweat I spent and some sleepless nights. Pinnacle to date. #pln365

    Sarah, how would you describe ISTE to someone who has never been? #pln365

  • Mrs_Gilchrist Dec 18 @ 8:44 PM EST
    Many, many wonderful things to reflect upon from this year. I've learned and grown so much in serving as a consultant—so much so that I'll be moving into doing that work full-time next academic year. I cannot wait! #pln365
  • PaulONeill1972 - Moderator Dec 18 @ 8:45 PM EST
    Hello, my friend! Share a reflection from this year that stands out for you. #pln365

  • sew1080 Dec 18 @ 8:45 PM EST
    Buckle up, buttercup! There are so many presentations you want to go to, so you really have to prioritize. However, I think the connections made in after hours events were just as good as the learning in the building! #PLN365

  • Cathig8r Dec 18 @ 8:46 PM EST
    There is so much to reflect on I was trying to choose. Like you, lots of change this year. Acquiring 10 Chromebooks and a charging cabinet would be a great one. Seeing the Ss faces when they 1st saw them... knowing they are always there for their use... Priceless! #PLN365

    I got to see that live. One of my favorite learning opportunities that I’ve seen in my career. #pln365

    Reflection: many personal and professional risks this year, involving a big move to NE Ohio and changed school district. Grateful for community and wonderful people who have embraced me! #pln365
  • PaulONeill1972 - Moderator Dec 18 @ 8:47 PM EST
    Are you going to Philly? I’m considering it very strongly . #pln365

    Already registered, housing secured, and presenting with my #4OCFpln! You need to come! Have you been before? #pln365

  • kmurfitt1 Dec 18 @ 8:48 PM EST
    Wow! So many things that are worthy of reflection. But, I think the best is my focus on my #oneword2018 which was intentional. Knowing my values and my passions has helped me be more intentional with my choices and my time. #pln365
  • PaulONeill1972 - Moderator Dec 18 @ 8:49 PM EST
    I’d have to agree Cathi. @ReWireYou was fun. Love what @Tabschools does and how they create the culture they desire. #pln365

    Good one, Kimm. Mine was aware. It helped me clearly define my mission, purpose and vision. #pln365

    Kahoot for review, NoRedInk for grammar, Google Classroom for organization and accessibility, Docs and Slides for writing, group work, and informal assessments, Menti to start class discussions or gauge the climate, Remind #PLN365

    I'm trying to figure out my word for 2019. My word for 2018 was relationships. #PLN365

    I would also have to say the aftermath of #Spedcamp... Meeting you... Learning about #PLN365... All these wonderful Tuesday evenings...

    I’m also excited about presenting in Chicago with @D4Griffin3 for @ASCDconf Empower 19 in March. Something we both reflect on often. #pln365
  • PaulONeill1972 - Moderator Dec 18 @ 8:55 PM EST
    Thats where it all began. I am so very thankful for your consistent support. 😃 #pln365

  • Cathig8r Dec 18 @ 8:58 PM EST
    I would say my #oneword2018 would be growth... Writing outsourcing proposals, discovering my love of British Literature, having the courage to share that with my sup after being scheduled for all math this year, learning about Twitter and #pln365...

    Also, for me, being given the opportunity to be a contributing author for three different books has been a great series of moments to reflect upon. #pln365
  • Cathig8r Dec 18 @ 9:01 PM EST
    That was definitely another great one, as I know #SpedCampLacey will be. It would be amazing to be in smaller school. Mine has grown so much I know fewer and fewer people every year. Everyone is just too busy. #PLN365

    As I am grateful for the opportunities to reflect, learn, and grow 💪. Like minded educators, who check their ego at the door knowing it's not about them but the Ss they impact daily... Great to know there are so many of us out there! #PLN365
