I had the privilege to go to the Georgia Educational Technology conference today and hear the keynote speaker, Ron Clark. He was amazing! It was inspiring to hear someone speak about education with such enthusiam and excitement. He kept saying the words, "creativity and innovation." These are words that are constantly used in the technology world. I left the presentation wondering, "Am I making a difference in the lives of the students at my school." I don't feel that I teach them on a regular basis to directly affect their lives; however, I hope that with what I do with the teachers trickles down to make the students' learning the best it can be. I plan to go out and purchase Ron Clark's book this weekend to learn more about how I can be creative, innovative, and make a difference.

Kim,
Thanks for sharing Ron's new book title. I have read things by him before, and I always come away feeling like I need to do more. The same way you felt. It's nice to get new ideas. I need to go purchase this book!
Without a doubt, I am sure that you make a big difference in students' lives. As a teacher, it is critical to learn about and have resources to use to teach students. Therefore, all of the information and resources you provide to others teachers are vital to their teaching. I will have to check this book out because I am always looking for ways to be more creative.
