You survived day one.

ALL THIS TECHNOLOGY & APPS BE LIKE

Don't panic.

It is what it is.

This is our world now.

'97 Graduation Speech:


1) Don't get into strangers' cars.

Technology has caused some minor changes:

• UBER: world's largest taxi company (owns no taxis).
• FACEBOOK: world's largest media owner (creates no original content).
• ALIBABA: world's largest retailer (owns no merchandise).
• AIRB&B: world's largest accommodation provider (owns no real estate).

The panic in schools 50 years ago was this.

100 years ago, it was this.

Schools that are changing for better:

• Are cognizant of the future's needs and how one learns.

Compliance often is associated with awful, ineffective PD.

The biggest change?
Educators moving from a culture of compliance PD to seeking out PD on their own.

It's time you take control of your own PD. It's a lot easier than you think.

1) Make a game plan.

• Achievable
• Measurable
• Attainable

2) Embrace the 'F' word.

• Twitter, Voxer, Blogs, Pinterest, _________
• EdCamps, Appy Hours, YOUR FRIENDS!
• Procure, acquire, beg, & borrow - but you better not spend a cent.

3) Self-Advocate.

• You know what YOU need.
• You are aware of your strengths and pitfalls better than your boss.
• Be realistic and practical.

While I wish we were all treated like this...

With taking over our own PD, we all end up feeling like this.
