We were privileged enough to have a guest speaker last
week-Dean Shareski, who had lots of great information to share with us in the
one hour visit! Being able to skype with Dean is one of the great things about
living in our world today. We are able to connect with people all around the
world instantly. This alone would be a great tool for our classroom. It is hard to get such great people to join in the classroom for a face to face, as everyone is so busy and not always local. But, the great thing is we always have the option to request a skype visit!
What I loved about Dean was his insight on using the internet
as a tool to share resources. He simply explained that- A simple thought or
idea that you have about something may seem like nothing to you.. but to others in the world it may be just
what they needed. Especially being future educators, we should never underestimate the valuable information that other people could have to share with us. Dean told us to never take what you have to share lightly,
and to trust that it will be valuable for someone (if not many) around the
world.
So share away!
