We’re already learning a lot on our 2nd day of TeacherCon Philly! We just finished the Digital Footprint lesson and I really enjoyed stalking Jonathan (Social Sleuth).

Also, here’s a great video shared by our first TLO group on HTML. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHM5EnhH8yQ)

I learned that you don’t always have to front load with all the vocabulary needed for a lesson. Sometimes the “discovery” process provides the best learning experience.

Although nerve wrecking, it was a good experience to teach one lesson to get a feel for the content before going back to school.

Enjoyed watching the first 2 groups present today! You guys did AWESOME! Learned about Pair Programming today. I can’t wait to try it out in my classroom.

Thank you. So my box one is now complete.

Having a blast learning about computer science!
