Engaging Learners: Looking in the mirror...
Teaching demands self-awareness, reflection, and continual growth. Teachers must be self-reflective, as persons and professionals, understanding that their development occurs over the course of their careers.

A teacher gives wonderful advice after looking back at an online project she considered a failure.

Now that Graham has brought this experience back into my focus, I'm realizing I can take quite a bit of learning away from the experience

Something from Nothing | David Truss :: Pair-a-dimes for Your Thoughts
At times my reflections were whimsical; at times they were like whole posts, adding new insights; and at times they either reinforced or challenged what I’d written. My posts are a reflection of my growth as an empowered learner who engages in thoughtful reflection.
Transitions, Transformations, and Transgressions | David Truss :: Pair-a-dimes for Your Thoughts

I’m not belittling what I have done in the past, simply noting that my priorities and interests have shifted, and so my approach has changed too.

Reflections: Stirring in the crock pot | David Truss :: Pair-a-dimes for Your Thoughts
- I have also been reflecting on this blog over the past while. It has been wonderful documenting my trials, tribulations, and triumphs over the past few months, and the cathartic nature of blogging is one that I can no longer do without. - datruss on 2008-05-15

Blogging with students requires biting your [digital] tongue | David Truss :: Pair-a-dimes for Your Thoughts
-
I really wanted to post a little timeline. Earlier I actually started typing a comment suggesting that perhaps Da Vinci used the same model for both paintings, then erased it rather than posting it… I forced myself to ‘bite my tongue’.
The fact is that I am not used to letting students take ownership of their learning in this way. I want to ‘teach’ them… isn’t that my job?
But if I had put that “perhaps Da Vinci used the same model” post in after the 5th or 6th comment, would the other comments have followed? - datruss on 2008-05-15

Learning Conversations | Pair-a-dimes for Your Thoughts
The need to feel confident,
The need to feel like we belong,
The need to be potent- feel you have made a difference,
The need to feel useful, and
The need to have a sense of optimism.
Sharing and Engaging: Web 2-point-0h-Yeah! | Pair-a-dimes for Your Thoughts
I was asked yesterday in a Math Learning Committee, “How do you know when your students are learning? My quick response was, “When they are asking the right questions.” That is exactly what Lily did above. What I liked most about her comment is that I thought of her question, (Why is the animal there?), before reading the comments. That question was going to be my ‘teacher comment’… but the students didn’t need their teacher here!
