LID Updates
Tis the season for...blogging? Apparently so!
Not only do we have LID Vision Day coming up THIS WEEK (yay!), but we also have Jennifer Walrod's group of students traveling to Greece on Tuesday. They are going to be using a feature within Blogger that allows students to email their pictures and blog posts directly to the blog itself. Parents will be subscribing to the blog and getting emails when there are any updates. Yay for global, frictionless sharing!
If you're interested in learning how to do this, please reach out to your LID Director or ask Jennifer for more information!

Another awesome use for blogs is what Kate Shanahan did with her 5th grade students - take a look at their stellar book reviews at this link!

Sketchnoting (Sketching + notetaking) is a trend taking hold among educators like wildfire. As a child, I doodled during classes that held no interest. As an adult, I wanted my doddles to actually work for me. Then I found Sketchnoting!
Lucky for all of us, today begins a 50-day sketchnoting challenge that encourages all of us to improve our skills and lean into our growth mindset. I've taken on this challenge, and you can follow #sketch50 on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook to join me in this challenge. Ask me about this if you see me - I'm happy to create a Harker sketchnoting group to keep each other accountable and stretching our creative muscles) if interest is there! Email me!
