November Invitation to Write: "What's New?"

The November “Invitation to Write” is here!

This month the ICTE faithful want to know what you’ve tried new this year. What new activity, new classroom setup, new organizational strategy, new technology, or even new attitude or approach to students have you attempted so far? Did you bring something back from the ICTE Conference that you’ve used? Have you learned something new from a colleague? From a student? What have you altered in terms of your grading philosophy, the way you provide feedback, or how you handle the enormity of the paper load? What have you added to your routine? Perhaps more importantly, what have you removed? This can be changes you’ve made that directly affect students, or ways you’ve altered your approach to the profession and strategies you use to energize yourself. 

We want success stories, failures, reflection, and advice. Mostly, we want to hear your voice writing about your journey in your classroom.

As before, submit your piece through our submission form on the ICTE website or via email to shannondykstra@gmail.com. Suggested length is 400-600 words, though it is certainly a flexible framework. We look forward to sharing your work on our ICTE Teacher Page and publicizing it through our Facebook Group and Twitter account. Put together a piece this week, and invite one other person on your staff to do the same. Let’s all get better together.
