Every Educator Has a Story . . . Just Tell It. This is one of my favorite cartoons ever.
The ”punch” line is that every person on the planet has a story to tell. I also know that every teacher story to tell.
Educators are doing amazing things with their learners in spite (i.e., to show spite toward) of the standards-based and accountability-driven movements. I’ve learned about so many exciting learning activities from educators who are publicizing their great projects via Twitter, Facebook, and Blogs. I’ve read about global collaborations, interesting ways technology is being integrated into the classroom, kids making a difference in their communities, and great project-based learning. This is my own call to action for educators to tell their stories of those rich and amazing things they are doing in their classrooms. • Write a blog. • Tweet about it. • Make photo essays and upload to a photo sharing site like Flickr.
