Day one of the new blog, and I am still trying to figure out what I might do with it. My newest idea is to document the next 365 days of my growth and learning-one new thing every day. Not a new idea, but a stretch for me.
So here is day one. Today, I sat in a United Streaming workshop. Not so new to me, but new to others in the room. I spent the first few minutes spinning my wheels, my feet firmly planted in the basics along with the other participants…and then I stretched…across the gap….and twittered. “Anyone out there have some great ideas I can share about United Streaming? ” Sure enough, the ideas started coming and I was the bridge between my new and expanding social network, and the 5 other people in that workshop. I absorbed, learned, and then shared small bites with the group. What did I see? Learning on many levels- I got new ideas about editing US video and having students create voice over to show understanding of content, and other participants learned how to advance search and visited the DEN website for the first time. I stretched, the network grew, and the gap got a little smaller. Thanks Lori A. for sharing, and thanks Shelly for letting me bring a bit of chaos to your workshop! I needed a stretch today.
