Me and my students had the opportunity to chat with Chris Craft and his students and it was a great interaction. I am participating of a project called ROW Rock our World and this is a long term project organized in projects that last one semester each, I guess we have it both ways. We have the short 30 to 50 minute chats and we also share lessons, rubrics, and activities. Our students are of different ages and backgrounds and our goals are also different. One thing I have learned is to be flexible, to be open to learn a lot...because you learn a lot from each other, and I'm not talking just about the kids. Through this project we have created a network of teachers that help each other and learn from each other. Another accomplishment I have found is awareness. Today we hear news from around the world, sometimes too many news, so many we become oblivious to them, but my students now feel like they have a personal connection with other countries where we have ROW schools, we are all connected, we care about what happens to each other. I think that being a creative teacher you can find the model that best fits your reality and go for it. Long term, short term, get out there and get connected. Dear Clay

I guess there are a couple people out there who want to do projects that we're doing. Although others are trying to do what we're doing, i think that PLN class has a little more advantage because we've got the technology at reach. Also because our class is made to do what we're doing and not as another thing in addition, it doesn't pressure us with time which is good.
