Professional Development Meme

Colette Cassinelli tagged me for this Professional Development Goals Meme. I met Colette at the Google Teacher Academy. We were both part of the group that met online and then went out to dinner “the night before Google.” This is my very first meme!!

Directions

Summer can be a great time for professional development. It is an opportunity to learn more about a topic, read a particular work or the works of a particular author, beef up an existing unit of instruction, advance one’s technical skills, work on that advanced degree or certification, pick up a new hobby, and finish many of the other items on our ever-growing To Do Lists. Let’s make Summer 2008 a time when we actually get to accomplish a few of those things and enjoy the thrill of marking them off our lists.

The Rules:

1. Pick 3 professional development goals and commit to achieving them this summer.
2. For the purposes of this activity the end of summer will be Labor Day (09/01/08).
3. Post the above directions along with your 3 goals on your blog.
4. Title your post Professional Development Meme and link back/trackback to http://clifmims.com/blog/archives/353.
5. Use the following tag/ keyword/ category on your post: pdmeme.
6. Tag 8 others to participate in the meme.
7. Achieve your goals and “develop professionally.”
8. Commit to sharing your results on your blog during early or mid-September.

Nicole’s Goals:

1. I will complete my GTA action plan by July 25th.
2. I will post weekly to my blog about a Google tool that I was introduced to at the Google Teacher Academy.
3. I will work on updating my classroom website and unit links.
