This blog has been sitting in my Blogger account for at least a couple of months now. And I come back to write the dreaded 'first post' too many times to admit to in public. But then this morning I stumbled upon a a TEDTalk on YouTube (as you do when trolling your Twitter feed on a chilly morning in October when the rest of the school district is on fall break and the office feels especially empty) and realized that I needed to change my thinking.
The TedTalk was from TEDx BurnsvilleED and the speaker was Molly Schroder and really wasn't all that new (2013). But her challenge to acknowledge that we live in beta really stuck a cord. As a former teacher librarian and now tech trainer, I firmly believe that there is no end to learning. I've said many times that the day I'm not willing to learn is the day I need to leave the education field. So why did I feel it so necessary to have some polished, shiny, fully formed blog to send out into the void?
So here it is internet, a blog in beta. Because I'm in beta. Learning as I go, failing fast, iterating and improving.
