As I embark on this new journey, I find myself incredibly nervous. Sure, I've written thousands of blog posts for my students and parents, but now I'm venturing into the blogosphere to write posts for YOU, fellow teachers! When the seed was first planted in my mind about blogging my classroom teaching, a beautiful quote came immediately to mind. Erin Hanson wrote a poem before she was 19 years old, and a line from that poem went viral. I wondered, and still do, if I will fail on this newest endeavor. But, as the quote says, what if I fly? Of course, that IS what I'm hoping!
"What if I fall?
Oh, but darling, what if you fly?"
The purpose of this new blog is to help other teachers learn how I have used Inquiry-Based and Project-Based Learning successfully in my classroom for many years. I've shared my ideas and lessons with teachers whom I have worked with and was encouraged to share more. With all the change in education and the push towards these two types of learning, my hope is that you can take something valuable away from this blog and easily use it in your classroom. As teachers, we always feel stressed, pressured, and worried when new/different curriculum or methods come down the pipe. My goal is to help ease all of those things and give you resources and ideas that you can implement quickly and easily.
Stay tuned! This post was simply to get the blog out there. I will post my first PBL/IBL posts on Thursday.
