The Bride Stripped Bare By Her Bachelors

I chose to create a personal Symbaloo for my PLN field experience. This was a challenging, but very rewarding process. The hardest part for me was to figure out what to put in it and why. The next hardest part was deciding the most logical way to organize it. As you will note above, I have color coded squares so that I can address how I decided to organize it. To address the first principle and ideas behind it, I will explain my ability to be proactive. First, I did not wait until the last minute and have a strong start to this process early on.

If I do not know what I am teaching or who I am teaching to, what good is anything else? This approach also addresses the “seek first to understand, then to be understood” habit. If I have a problem with funding, hopefully I can…

He is a rebel and a revolutionary in terms of art. Early art and…
