You Matter!

I hope that everyone has been having a wonderful Fall break!  What have I been doing? Well……my to do list was quite long and I will admit that I have not gotten everything done.  However, I did make time to do something that has me so inspired, I just had to blog about it!

As you can see, on the right side of my blog, is my twitter feed.  I spent time this break using TweetDeck to get caught up on the latest happenings in the educational technology world.   I must say that I am blessed to be connected to so many amazing people!

The ideas, articles, opinions, and questions…. I was so inspired! I made contact with teachers to begin awesome new collaborative projects.   I read some amazing blogs written by students as young as third grade (check out the link to our fifth grade blogs and to other student blogs at the top of this page.)  And…

I came across the hashtag #youmatter.  (If you use twitter then you know what I mean by hashtag. If you don’t use twitter then you need to come see me or email me!)   I have discovered that #youmatter is a movement, thank you Angela Maiers, and it’s a movement we all need to be a part of. Everyone needs to know that they matter.  And we are the ones that need to tell them!

So, here is my challenge to you. Tell someone, everyday, “You Matter!” And help them feel joyful and appreciated.

Because the truth is YOU MATTER! I miss you all! Every single one of you! I can’t wait to see you next week.
