Andrea Hernandez from EdTechWorkshop and SkipZ from Integrating Technology in Teaching and Learning both tagged me with the Professional Development Meme that originated from Clif’s Notes .

Directions

Summer can be a great time for professional development. It is an opportunity to learn more about a topic, read a particular work or the works of a particular author, beef up an existing unit of instruction, advance one’s technical skills, work on that advanced degree or certification, pick up a new hobby, and finish many of the other items on our ever-growing To Do Lists. Let’s make Summer 2008 a time when we actually get to accomplish a few of those things and enjoy the thrill of marking them off our lists.

The Rules

  1. Pick 3 professional development goals and commit to achieving them this summer.
  2. For the purposes of this activity the end of summer will be Labor Day (09/01/08).
  3. Post the above directions along with your 3 goals on your blog.
  4. Title your post Professional Development Meme and link back/trackback to http://clifmims.com/blog/archives/353 .
  5. Use the following tag/ keyword/ category on your post: pdmeme.
  6. Tag 8 others to participate in the meme.
  7. Achieve your goals and “develop professionally.”
  8. Commit to sharing your results on your blog during early or mid-September.

My Goals

  1. Take time off to let my brain rest, so I can return refreshed and ready to "create" in the new school year.
  2. Finish my "How to Guide for Educators: Digital Storytelling" book.
  3. Frame my approach for introducing the use of SmartBoards to our faculty as something MORE than a big projector, monitor and mouse.

I Tag…

  1. Paige McGee
  2. Kathy Balek
  3. Katie Bennett
  4. Melanie Holtsman
  5. Brian Crosby
  6. The TechTrainer
  7. Dennis Grice
  8. Kevin Jarrett

    Silvia, I trust you are accomplishing goal #1!? I am working on mine. I guess I’m not as organized as you so I will work on that right away. Thanks for encouraging me.
