It has already been six weeks since I attended the Google Teacher Academy in London. What a day - filled with incredible information, amazing networking, and all taking place at Google London, right down the road from Buckingham Palace. It was definitely the best professional development event I've ever attended.
You may wonder how I could possibly consider this one day a main turning point of my career. The day itself was so much more than the 12 hours we were there. Although every minute of those 12 hours was amazing, it was just the beginning...
The beginning of what? The beginning of a rich collaborative network, opportunities to connect classrooms, worldwide friendships, and the inside scoop on all things Google. This all began on 7/29/10. Thanks to technology, the learning and relationships will continue and will strengthen.
And that's the greatest power of technology in my opinion: the power to connect ideas and to connect people. That will be the focus of this blog.
