First of all, I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge and thank Brian Grenier (Technical Site Coordinator, Coronado Feeder Pattern) for his role in making it possible for El Paso Independent School District personnel to participate in the K-12 Conference 2007. Thanks Brian, I appreciate all your efforts and hard work.
David Warlick’s Pre Conference Keynote presentation, “Inventing the New Boundaries” was awesome! It was thought-provoking and filled with wonderful analogies and metaphors (the invisible tentacle analogy will forever be embedded in my brain). It reminded me of something I heard once, “The highest degree of insanity is to continue doing the same thing over and over, expecting different results”. As educators, we must be willing to let students explore with their “invisible tentacles”. Who knows how far or what they might reach!
After viewing David Warlick’s presentation, “Inventing the New Boundaries”, I fell asleep with the following question on my mind: What can I do as a Technical Site Coordinator to assist teachers with the invention of new boundaries in their classrooms?
Take a few minutes to visit the K-12 Conference 2007. I believe it will definitely be worth your time. You can enter the conference at school and/or at home. If you decide to participate in one or more of the online sessions, you will receive two hours of CPE credit for EVERY session reflective piece completed.
Thanks.
