Sharing and learning are both phenomenal~ but nothing beats meeting a challenge!

“Learning makes your brain happy” Why information is its own reward – same neurons signal thirst for water, knowledge (via Raph Koster

So my brain is happy, but the rest of me is tired? Totally worth it!

So today the technology was comfortable, nothing new. But the reinforcement of focusing on academic expectations and the implementation of “authentic” assignments impacting teaching and learning in the classroom. Focusing solely on creating “essential questions” and DOK (Depth of Knowledge) having real conversations with fabulous teachers… life is good!
