...a time for educators to
relax, reflect, recharge, and refresh....

...as well as a time to reconnect, rethink, reconfigure, and redesign.
 |
| I'm going through my copy of Comprehension &Collaboration: Inquiry Circles in Action by Harvey and Daniels for the third time. |
And most of us don't stop there.
We take to heart the idea that summer is also a time for
...learning, growing, exploring, pursuing, planning, collaborating, and innovating...
via several mediums, including: |
Twitter, Google + and other social networks,
Google Apps,
conferences,
MOOCs,
blogs / blogging,
researching,

and pursuing opportunities for
incredible collaboration and training,
such as the Google Teacher Academy in Chicago.
Check out my application video -
it would be an honor to be chosen to participate!
How do you stay connected during the summer?
I stay connected through many of the learning opportunities you mentioned including Twitter Chats (#ELLChat & #titletalk are two faves), reading professional books (focused on academic vocabulary & reading instruction this summmer), and attending classes and conferences. My school is also piloting a summer reading focus this year where we meet with students at the public library once a month.
