Without reflection, how can I ever hope to become better? In order to reflect, I participate in a number of practices. First, I like to write in a journal. Another practice is by talking with my colleagues. Another way that I like to reflect is by receiving feedback from my students.]]> 2018-12-07 15:38:56 UTC https://padlet.com/lmaki39/7s6xjvh6kcfj/wish/312274602 Next steps... lmaki39 https://padlet.com/lmaki39/7s6xjvh6kcfj/wish/312276548 Next, I need to be more actively involved in my PLN.  I have a strong PLN here in the school district, but I need to be more consistent about my online presence, through Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
