Teaching Expo

It's almost time for another Virtual Teaching Expo.. (Nov. 12th)....the topic this time is TEACHING TIPS...are you registered and ready? I LOVE the idea of being able to learn from other teachers who inspire me to be a better teacher....but I also REALLY love being able to do it from the comfort of my own home.
Why am I attending??
What am I looking for??
 If your school district is like mine, you're heavily involved in providing interventions for students (RTI). I plan to go to the Expo to learn ways to manage the interventions without ignoring the other students....what is the right number of interventions and more. A key factor I think is keeping things organized...Organization is another topic in this expo. Other topics include creating a classroom of independent learners and ways to add excitement into your teaching day!

Putting Skills into Action

I was so excited to see that Hadar over at Miss Kindergarten has already taken some of what I shared at the Teaching Blog Expo and put it to work on her blog. Check out her tutorial on Embedding a Document in Google Docs.
If you missed out on the Expo...don't worry...you can purchase a copy of the recording starting Sept 24th! You can view it ANYTIME it fits into your schedule!  I LOVE that concept....learning when it's convenient for YOU!
 There were a lot of really good ideas and tips shared! Whether you're new to blogging or an old pro...you're bound to learn some really great tips!

PS...check out my  EXPO Q & A post for additional TIPS.

What are you doing Saturday, Sept. 17th? What if I told you that you could join teachers from all over the globe in an expo? I know what you're thinking...school is back in  session and you just don't want to think of getting out of bed and going to an expo on a Saturday!! What if I told you that you can attend this expo in your favorite PJ's....you don't have to curl your hair or even get out of bed? Yes, I know sounds too good to be true...but you can do that and more!
