Collection of Digital Collaboration Resources for Teachers and Learners

Supporting the 4Cs in Learner-Centered Classrooms

My "why" for teaching and learning is centered on how the 4 Cs can be used to support student growth and engagement in my classroom. I believe skills connected to creativity, critical thinking, communication, and collaboration must be skills that students practice throughout the process of learning. 

I have long believed that my content should support the development of student skills connected to the 4 Cs of collaboration, communication, critical thinking, and creativity.

 
Today, I wanted to share our updated collection of digital resources to support personal and digital collaboration skills in our classrooms.

Three Books to Inspire and Re-energize Educators

I share quite a few books that I've read or have on my reading list. Today I am going to do something a little different and share three books I don't think I am going to read. I've heard they are great books, but they probably don't fit me current mindset. 

These books connected to falling or re-falling in love with being a teacher and learner have come highly recommended by my PLN. I am curious about all three, but right now I still love being an educator. I don't think I have space on my reading list for these today, but I wanted to share with anyone who is looking for a bit of inspiration to keep going. My plan is to save these just in case I ever feel the need to overcome burnout.
