SWEET! I needed that, Carrie! Now that we've come out of the woodwork, other teachers will, too.

It has taken me many years to learn to ignore them learn to push past them and leap over them even when they hang on tight. And yes we do it if it's best for kids but also if it makes us happy (which is usually/almost always best for kids ...isn't that funny how they go together). I'm so very lucky. Actually to tears lucky Saturday night and yesterday. First Saturday because I felt just so incredibly blessed to have people in my life who unconditionally support my passion and ideas. People who find value in them and, no matter what others say or think. And then Sunday morning a tweet popped up thanking me for sharing Sketchnoting and that her students love it. My only response to that teacher was thank you. Thank you for being brave enough to try something new. Others are ignoring the whispers too!!!Carrie Baughcumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10032878576475580976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2941630785664397334.post-9077841283452215972017-01-15T21:07:39.210-06:002017-01-15T21:07:39.210-06:00Yes, Joy!!!
Love the JOY you bring me when we get ...Yes, Joy!!!<br />Love the JOY you bring me when we get to connect. Twitter brought us together, yet conferences and edcamps bring us closer. It's very rewarding to be surrounded by EduAmazing educators on our day off. We make sure we connect in person because we know we learn so much more together. Sharing is Caring!!! <br />You all shout confidence; whispers are good yet our actions to connect and collaborate shout out to the world that educators are passionate and we won't allow our fellow educators to doubt that education is meaningful and empowering, so we do all we can to engage, educate , and empower our students. Love you all!
