Thanks PLN! Because of you, I am ready . . .

The official start of school is 3 weeks away (and for the first time in many summers), I am ready!! Not 100% prepared ready, because that is not my teaching style. I have a skeleton curriculum to cover, but how I cover it is largely dependent upon my students and how they respond to the curriculum. Instead I am attitude ready, ideas ready, and tools in my back pocket ready. Why is this summer different? Because I have spent much more time this summer than any other summer on PD (Professional Development), yet this is the first summer in 13 years I have not taught summer school, taken a graduate course, or attended a face-to-face conference! How is that possible?!? One word . . . Twitter! THANK YOU PLN . . . because of you, I am ready!! So school year 2011-2012, BRING IT ON!!
