The Birds have Left the Nest

 Can you believe our week of Digital Leadership is over? The days flew by and I wish we had more time to let Dr.Malone fill our brains! 

As I was procrastinating tonight's homework, I went out on our back deck to take a peak and check on our little birdies who have been nested in our hanging baskets for the last month or so.  I carefully got out my step stool, quietly peaked over the edge without disturbing the basket, and much to my surprise the birdies had left the nest. I even had my husband come out to take a look, just to make sure I wasn't missing something. I was sad to see them go, but I guess like most everything in life, there comes a time when we must all go out on our own and venture the world. 

Just as the baby birds left the nest, we must do so as well. No longer can we wait in the comfort of our nest for our Daddy Bird to feed us all we need, now its time for us to find it ourselves. We've learned enough to help us fly, but now what we will do to maintain flight? 

In the year to come, I plan to commit to continuing my blog and creating a classroom blog as well. I have wanted to have a classroom blog for several years now, but never felt confident enough to do it...well now I do! Plus, I know I can always call on my fellow birdies to help me along the way. Another commitment I intend to make, as long as my principal agrees, is doing some sort of "tech-study" or open lab time with fellow colleagues to learn more about how we can use iPads and Interactive White Boards in the classroom. 

I'm a little nervous to leave the nest... but can't wait to discover what's out there in the land of technology!
