I love feedback. It's an album by Derek Webb that you can listen to above via noisetrade. But I really love hearing from others on how I'm doing, how we're doing, and what we can do differently.
This week, I have tweeted like crazy to get feedback on 1:1 and the Best PD Ever. Perhaps you've retweeted or put in your two cents. I really appreciate that! Click on the links below to offer your feedback if you haven't. I'd really like your opinions, suggestions and ramblings while I'm trying to plan for the impending school year. Seriously! I'd love 'em, so please click below.

How much feedback is necessary for teachers? Younger teachers definitely need more feedback. I know I read that in an article somewhere my first year of teaching. Here's a snazzy TED talk with Bill Gates saying teachers need more feedback than they are getting. It's something that's been instilled in us since kindergarten. With my teacher prep program in undergrad, we would reflect on our teaching and we were evaluated by observation, but how palpable is the teacher observation? How often should one be observed? I don't have those answers. I do know that I reflect a lot on the profession, and
I did get a couple tweets saying "Wow, what a great use of your PLN!" and "Will you present what was shared?" I don't see an answer to either of these questions as being exclusive. As stated in the ISTE 2013 keynote by Adam Bellow, not sharing what you are doing or learning is selfish. We can't just listen to the same people all the time. I may not like Macs, but my friend @chadtheteacher does. And we can agree to disagree about devices, but he may be doing something amazing with them that I could implement where I am. My friend @jedipadmaster (again, remember I'm a droid gal) has some great ideas on doing fixed asset inventory with QR codes. Amazing!
If we don't share, how will we learn? I am a verbal processor at heart. I need to blog or talk something out. But I'm not blogging just to add another post here. I want you to comment. I want you to tell me if I'm wrong or right. I want validation. I want disconfirmation. I want to collaborate with you! So please post your answers on the two links below. I will thank you, but most importantly, our students will benefit from a simple shared two cents. Thank you!
