Treasure Chest of Thoughts

This past weekend, I spent several hours working on an internship that will conclude my journey to obtain my hours in curriculum leadership.  One of the requirements of this internship is to include “program artifacts” from all of my previous curriculum courses. 

What a trip…both down memory lane (all those hours spent working for that “A”) and also over the super highway of technology…oh, the growth a few years can make!  Okay, maybe I was not on the super highway several years ago, and I may not be there yet, but I have certainly taken a detour for the better!

These hours spent (and unfortunately the hours still to be spent) on this internship/portfolio has reawakened the desire to help my students create a portfolio, one that will reflect their own growth as writers and as users of technology.

Here is where I started this summer.  Here is where I still am.  For this to become a reality, I have to begin.

Dr. Helen Barrett, also a blogger, is the geru in this area.  So here’s wishing:  I would love to attend one of her workshops.  Imagine having the time to just sit and absorb.  That is what I call exciting:  even if that does equate to my being a nerd!

So what is the holdup?  Time.  Just not enough time in a class period to do all that I would love to achieve.  Maybe by the time I retire, I will have determined how to fit in everything.  Maybe?
