And now there is no such thing as regular blogging. Look at my blog. One month one blog post the next month 6 blog posts. It is better to be regular and I would blog more if I wasn’t over extended (something I’m working on). But take it slow, form the habits, and keep learning.

I find myself blogging more in the summer as COETAIL courses come to an end and I find myself in a more reflective mode. So that is always a good time to form the habits that can carry you through the hectic school year once it hits.

So glad that you have these habits and these goals…that is what COETAIL is meant to be a starting point into a network of learning that honestly is the best professional development you will ever be an active part of. Enjoy the ride!

Looking forward to learning from your efforts, as well. Good Luck!

Thanks for your thoughts! I definitely hear what you’re saying in this comment. Coincidentally, math is an area where handwriting continues to impact scores. In the IB’s Middle Years Programme, the Math rubric includes a criterion called Communication. Not only are students scored in this criterion based on the ability to communicate their mathematical understanding, they must show their work clearly and logically. For my son (and all others who are handwriting challenged), it takes painstaking effort to not only write numbers clearly, but to line them up logically in order to work through to a correct answer. For the most part he has figured out the importance of handwriting in Math; however, he does trip himself up in his figures from time to time. Again, I think it’s important that students are able to learn and use handwriting and tech skills so that when they do have options they are able to choose which tool will best support their ability to communicate their ideas clearly.
