For the second Ed. Quotes, it is important to reaffirm the importance of the learning power of mistakes and respecting the unprogrammable flow of learning.
Often I have not known where I was going until I was already there. I have had my share of desires and goals, but my life has come to me or I have gone to it mainly by way of mistakes and surprises. Often I have received better than I have deserved. Often my fairest hopes have rested on bad mistakes. I am an ignorant pilgrim, crossing a dark valley. And yet for a long time, looking back, I have been unable to shake off the feeling that I have been led – make of that what you will. ~ Wendell Berry

For the first quote of the New Year, it is important to reaffirm important principles of Pedagogy First.
“It is very easy to get mesmerized by the latest app, gadget, device, or tech tool. In order to experience the full potential of educational technology, focus on the foundation first. Pedagogy trumps technology.”
~ Eric Sheninger, Senior Fellow, International Center for Leadership in Education

By now, most educators and students have made it to holiday break and through the frenzy of Christmas/Kwansaa/Hanukkah.
Many folks are considering Resolutions for 2019… what are your EdTech resolutions?
Here are a some ideas from popular blogs:
From 2017- Mimio Educator, by Kelly Bielefeld
From 2017 – Houghton Mifflin Blog
From 2016 – Edutopia, by Heather Wolpert-Gawron
From 2013- Education Week, by Jennie Magiera
It’s time to look ahead and set some resolution goals. I’ll share my resolution goals next week. I’m keeping in mind the words of Heather Wolpert-Gawron, “Making resolutions is really about recalibrating our attempts to be the best teachers we can be.”

“If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up people together to collect wood and don’t assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.” ~Antoine de Saint-Exupery

High school student’s paraphrase of learner-directed classroom environments, as shared by an online, Twitter colleague.
“In a teacher-centered class, students get ‘fed’ learning like in a high chair – in a learner-centered environment, students help make the meal and sit down to eat together.”

Hello Practitioners in TEC-516~~
Today is our last day together, virtually. It has been a privilege to learn with you during our course. We have learned a lot and created some constructive artifacts together: word clouds, crossword puzzle collaborative completion, active research data collection from a survey, and a photographic PLN collage, digital flyer, Benchmark Guideline proposal—just to name a few things!
I hope you’ll find what we’ve done together useful and productive.
It’s been a pleasure working with you! Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy Start to 2019~
Dr. Teague
