I met Jennifer Gonzalez at ISTE a couple of years ago. I had followed her on Twitter for awhile an really liked the things she had shared on her blog. I saw a post of hers shared by Diane Doersch on Twitter about engaging students in classroom discussions. I decided to take a look at what else she had added to her blog. What I saw compelled me to write this post. The blog has ideas about technology, which is what I typically share information about, but has so much more. It has ideas for professional development, content area ideas, grade level, differentiation, project based learning, and so much more. The images above connect to some of the posts from the site. I think the classroom discussion post has a lot of great ideas for unlocking the ideas of our quiet students and turning the conversation over to students.
The starter kit for Differentiation delves into a topic that from my experience can be challenging to implement. Jennifer shares a number of posts about Differentiation, but I thought this one would be a good one to start with. The compliments project is similar to a post I have shared on Twitter showing teacher who created a video where they tell students how the student inspires them. The compliments project is another example of building relationships and showing compassion for others. I hope you will check out the blog Cult of Pedagogy and look at the library of posts, or podcasts. I think there are many ideas to help spark your passion, improve your professional practice and inspire you.
