Ever since I heard Austin Kleon's Ted talk on Steal Like an Artist, I felt validated in borrowing from the best and creating my own version that fits my style and my students. sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05847472032157078587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1832888192686100995.post-3091858985757127972015-08-18T09:12:32.967-07:002015-08-18T09:12:32.967-07:00Now I have even more opportunities to use it since...Now I have even more opportunities to use it since I'm starting off with our student-led classroom experience right away.sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05847472032157078587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1832888192686100995.post-84848558327788582532015-08-18T06:17:39.229-07:002015-08-18T06:17:39.229-07:00I totally told my mom about this.

It sets a great model for your students about responsible citing of resources. But mostly I love your commitment to continuous growth. You are what all educators should be. You rock.

When you learn ideas, you own them and make them to be your own best version of them, No mask necessary to hide behind ... you are the awesome rockstar teacher yourself! :)Matt Miller @jmattmillerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06814574400014253358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1832888192686100995.post-43743766133491535272015-08-17T18:08:56.545-07:002015-08-17T18:08:56.545-07:00I love it Sandy!
