In honor of Connected Educator Month, I wanted to pay tribute to educators who inspire me and I learn from daily, virtually and in person. They feed my professional soul, they are conversation partners and they keep me excited about being a teacher. I am standing on the shoulders of giants, aka my network. My work is a direct result of their curation effort, their ability to trigger my imagination, their contribution to help me make sense of things I never thought or dreamed about and the pool of past experiences each one brings as an educator.
I am not an original, I am a remixer of the collaborative experience and knowledge building network, that technology allows us to access, connect with, learn from, reflect about and then continue to share.
Thank you all.
Just in case you want to play detective and grow your network, I have added the following members of my network (in no particular order of importance) to this list for you to consider.

Silvia, of course it would be you to honor your colleagues as a “net” that catches, supports, and connects in the ongoing “work” that fascinates and compels action. You are one of my heroes. All of us would do well to follow your lead on this one. Thank you.
It had to be you, Heidi, who puts a complete different spin on something I have done, without even knowing… and makes me see it in a different perspective 🙂
I cannot tell you what a tremendous positive impact you have had on my teaching….which then ripples out to all teachers I connect with.
THANK YOU
Silvia, Not only do I appreciate sharing this journey with you, it is truly an honor to be included among this list of thoughtful learners, practitioners, thinkers and contributors!
I am honoured to be included in this list of visionary educators around the world. Wow! I don’t remember the last time I ran a PD session without mentioning your name or using your resources & directing people to your work. You are a rock star my friend. It is us who should be thanking you.
