UWP conferences always provide me with so many new ideas and a bit of validation. I was excited to hear from the speaker about pop culture because I feel this is something that we really need to get better at incorporating. Their are aspects to integrating pop culture that are a bit daunting mostly because of needing more or newer technology. But I feel that now not only do I have some fresh attainable ideas I also have a few more resources.
Inga did a great job this morning giving us ideas for how to inspire our students to write which again was through another media- pictures which are so powerful and provide so many ways for our kids to express themselves.
Paula gave us an extremely easy way to help our kids expand their vocabularies. Her strategy is one I can take back to my classroom and use even this Monday as a bellwork.
Dinah Johnson's reading was amazing- its so cool to be able to hear an author's voice and the way they meant their writing to sound.
Korina Jocson did a great job of pinch hitting for Mr. Morrell. I was excited about her information but most definitely need to process and figure out ways to incorporate her ideas in a way that works in my class. My mind is quite busy... which is exciting.
