WHAT DO YOU PLAN TO LEARN IN 2015?

Last year, Edutopia challenged teachers and administrators to learn something new in the new year.  This inspired me to share some of the webinars I planned to participate in during the month of January 2014.

Continuing with this idea, this year Edutopia posted New Things to Try in 2015. "With all the research on how unlikely it is that making New Year's resolutions actually works, [edutopia] wanted to offer something a little more realistic". Edutopia's new year's post provides "teacher-tested ideas for new things to try with your students in five days, five weeks, and five months."

To help you start off the new year by learning something new, I thought I would share some of my favorite ways to learn about new ideas, methods and tools! I certainly do not expect that you would want to check out all of the resources below immediately, but the list is a great place to start. Pick one or two of these resources to regularly check out - you might be surprised by what you find!
