**Space for Reflection:**

**Word Up & Write On﻿!** **﻿** Maybe it's because I'm a natural dawdler, perhaps it's because I've always been uncoordinated, or conceivably I just take to heart Shakespeare's best line, "There is not clock in the forest," but I'm slow. Simply slow (usually not mentally, mind you). I enjoy using a pen to write; I love baking cakes from scratch; I like to ponder profusely while window shoping with a cup of coffee that's turned cold, strolling nowhere slowly. I need time to process. So, I find conferences a bit jilting, for now I have too many ideas and not enough time to figure out how I can apply them meaningfully in my classroom. Hopefully it's not lame to say that next week I will take ONE cool idea I gleaned from a session and roll with it in class. The danger of changing everything right away or inundating students with the look-at-all-the-stuff-I-just-learned-so-let's-use-it-all-because-we-can mentality is real. So, as I continue the process of infusing great tech ideas into lessons, units, assignments, and assessments, I will weigh learning outcomes, strategies, and the awesomeness of the tools available to make learning happen.
