April 4th Task

-
Many changes this week, thank you for the Evaluations.
Change 1: I have set the Google Group Emails to Digest. This means you only get 1 email every day with all of the emails in 1. You can look through and choose which ones to reply to. Other options for managing this are watching the Gmail Movie to tame your inbox, or ask to not receive emails and then you will be responsible for checking online.

Change 2: I am cleaning, consolidating, and condensing the website this week. It will take time and I will still locate most things with the same words.

Change 3: I have standardized the schedule now that I have heard from everyone. It is set on the Calendar. Office Hours Monday - Friday after 3:30 (see the Calendar for Details). 1 Webinar or Meeting from 3:30-4:30 will be available every week. The 5 minute videos will continue to be made. (See weekly videos here)

Change 4: I have begun the process of deeper sharing and how to's for the troubleshooting and tech issues at the ITLP Cohort Blog. I have asked several of you already to be Guest Bloggers, and if you are interested, please contact me. This will count for your Self Reflection (Advanced) and 1 form of Communication.

Weekly Schedule of Topics can be found here.

Tasks this week:
1. Complete 1 step on your ITLP OR Update your ITLP
2. Complete a Self Reflection Entry
3. Complete Your Flowchart, if it is not completed.

It happens every spring. In Alaska our snow starts to melt, and we discover all kinds of things left, lost, and buried in different layers from the winter snow storms. I feel this is the same thing that happens to myself as a teacher as we approach spring. I begin to wrap up projects, self-assess on a larger scale, reflect upon the year and different events. Like items lost in the snow, I discover different projects or ideas started and forgotten, some probably a good idea that they were forgotten and some will be put on the slow cooker for next year. My poor, little blog is one of them. Every year, I dig it back out and tell myself I will return to blogging to share some of the materials, activities, ideas that I always have stewing. This year, I came across a lovely post from ISTE community to join Blogging Buddies . Timing was perfect! I have been clamoring all year (many referenced sticky notes and conversations) about the need for constant refresh from a PLN, but a gentle nud
