Last week I had the opportunity to attend my first NCCTM conference. Although I was the only one from my county (that I knew of), I felt like I was attending a family reunion thanks to all the wonderful people from other counties that I have met through PD groups over the last 3 years. The sessions I went to were informative and I came home with the wheels spinning.
One thing I that has been totally occupying my mind lately is Twitter. I have been a lurker for many years, following many #MTBoS members, reading about their amazing ideas, and "lovingly borrowing" ideas that blew my mind.But I have never tweeted.
I never felt like I had anything to contribute of my own. I had thought about it a couple times, but what to tweet? Nothing really moved me.
Then NCCTM happened ... and the Twitter Room! This sound totally silly as I am sitting here typing, but I was inspired to give the idea of posting a tweet a little more thought. Now this morning, on a rare day off, as I sit at my computer to catch up on my reading list of blogs, I see a blog post from Lauren Baucom (@LBmathemagician; @NCCTM1) about her experience setting up the Twitter Room for NCCTM17! Lauren is awesome ... I have know her for a couple years being a part of the Sandhills Math Leaders group ... and she is totally inspiring.
So my first tweet may be way closer than I think! :)
It has been 1 year, one month, and 19 days since I blogged last. But I think about it every day! Sad, I know, but as much as I love the idea of my blog I just don't ever feel like I have the time. Maybe that will change soon too!
Happy Veteran's Day!
