Seriously, I do. I just wish I had the time to pursue each one. There are so many exciting possibilities for lesson planning and 21st Century Learning. The applications tumble around in my head but the reality is that I have to pick just one to work on at a time. Even then, the hours I spend researching for one lesson quickly add up. It's Sunday, I've been at it for 3 1/2 hours, it's getting dark, and if my husband wasn't here to remind me of life's other occupations, I'd be here for a few more. But don't worry, I took Saturday off completely and enjoyed some rest and relaxation.
My current time-suck is a lesson I'm creating related to a speech my students began writing on a theme to unite our school. I perused YouTube for 45 minutes just looking for a few examples to inspire the kiddos. My goal is to have them create a video presentation to go with their theme. They will use text from their speech, inspirational quotes, music, and graphics that will inspire their viewers to embrace the message. The next step in the lesson planning is for Mrs. Blick to select the tool and figure out how to use it herself. Hmmm...I wonder how many hours will that take?
