Week Seven

This past Friday (10-22), I presented at the New York State Middle School Conference ( http://www.nysmsa.org/ ).  My concept of "Energize the Classroom" was well received.  Over eighty educators packed into my session.  There was standing room only.  I discussed and gave examples of how I use multiple intelligences and paradigms to energize student learning.  The best part.....the new ideas that are shared with me by the very people I am presenting to!

I really value the feedback I receive from any presentation or workshop I do.  I work hard to make my material something that other educators find informative and hopefully useful.  Presenting is a catch-22 as far as I am concerned.  I really enjoy it and would like to do more of it, but I could never leave the classroom.  On the otherhand, that is why I feel my material is useful to others because I am using the very methods and  ideas that I talk about, in my own classroom!
