I can't wait to meet you in Chicago - maybe we can come up with some way to have our students connect too!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03844867871179578637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-370513240342622404.post-82710248949726361292011-02-27T09:47:36.165-06:002011-02-27T09:47:36.165-06:00And that is just one day at Van Meter!

Anyone who doesn't understand the power of having a PLN (personal learning network) should read about this wonderful day of learning it helped provide. <br /><br />My students have Skyped about Mardi Gras with Len Horn's class in Arizona, Terri Reh's class in Colorado, Aviva Dunsiger's class in Canada, Jan Well's class in Kansas as well as your wonderful students in Iowa. We will be visiting more classes this coming week. <br /><br />Thank you for the connection and friendship.PLNauglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17589718884625860829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-370513240342622404.post-33748381047463926962011-02-27T06:33:55.264-06:002011-02-27T06:33:55.264-06:00I grew up in Boone and taught in Madrid for five y...I grew up in Boone and taught in Madrid for five years. Although that was a long time ago, those small towns were isolated. <br /><br />Since then I've learned that education is at its best when it goes beyond the limitations of the walls and clocks that govern so much of what we do in schools. <br /><br />Congratulations to everybody in Van Meter for providing such excellent, "world-class" learning experiences for your students and community.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
