Boundries

My colleague and good friend Stephanie has deemed me the "hyperthinker" because whenever we are in a professional development session I am constantly jotting down questions I would like to continue to think about, quotes I like, thoughts I have about what is being said, connections I am making, ideas I would like to use, and how the ideas will enhance my teaching and student learning. I think this list makes it clear why I have earned the title "hyperthinker". I am not even sure if it is a real word, but I think you get the picture. Participating in MOOC is feeding my curiosity about the unlimited boundaries of learning and helping me to understand the experiences my students have with on-line learning. I am a life-long learner and always looking for opportunities that challenge my thinking and push me forward. I am a teacher educator and a literacy consultant. In my work, I look for opportunities to push teachers' boundries because I believe that boundary pushing is what will lead to enhanced student learning. Oh, by the way, I am a new blogger (which had been hard for me because I am not sure anyone will find what I have to say of value). MOOC will hopefully make the transition doable.
