Contribution to your Learning and Learning Community

This 8 week course semester was admit the busiest and most stressful part of the school year. Coming back from spring break with two new classes and crunch time for the highly unliked standardized test was a significant load with being new to my grade level and new to the job.When class started I truly thought I was going to have to put this part of my education on hold.If it weren't for my larger learning community, I wouldn't even be writing this final contribution compilation post.The amount of feedback and support this group offers amazes me. It allows us to hold each other accountable no matter what our own unique situations.

The final project was to create an actual professional learning session. Though I have been to many professional learning sessions, I never knew how much planning and preparation this took. Many of those professional sessions were more productive than others, so I knew I had to have a hands on approach rather than the sit and get. In my professional learning, I made sure to incorporate directions and have the learners active in creating their own ePortfolio during the session to ensure hands on approach and support.
