“My principal said those were the best presentations she ever saw, not because of the content, but because of the conviction the

students had for their work”Juliani, A. J. "Why "20% Time" Is Good for Schools." Edutopia. The George Lucas Foundation, 25 June 2013. Web. 02 Aug. 2014.

THE IMPERATIVE TO SHARE

#bettertogether

HOW CAN WE SHARE WHAT WE DO?

• Brainstorm as many ideas as you can (1 minute, individually)

• Share and discuss with your table (1 min per person)

• Create list of top 3-5 ideas for group spokesperson to share out (2 min as a group)

• Add your group ideas to this padlet wall or go to http://goo.gl/24mSAv

TOP 3 REASONS TO SHARE YOUR TEACHING

1. Sharing is reflecting

2. Others can learn from you

3. The connections you make to other educators are invaluable
