Stories in EDU Geib Leigh Anne

So....  THIS happened!!!



Story time!



So... when I was finishing my Masters Degree, I decided to focus my final research on authentic professional development.   As I dove into my research, I stumbled across the work of Jason Bretzmann and Kenny Bosch.   They wrote a wonderful book (seriously, buy it!!!) called "Personalized PD."   Dave Burgess (Teach Like a Pirate dude) also has a part in this.



I began participating in an AWESOME Twitter chat called #PersonalizedPD (Tuesday nights, 9pm EST) and my Professional Learning Network (PLN) began to EXPLODE!!!



Jason and Kenny are fantastic.   They are so encouraging and I appreciate what they have and continue to contribute to the world of education.



Through these chats and then learning about Voxer, I was able to begin following Josh Gauthier and Mandy Taylor.



In November of 2017, Jason sent me a message after I had Tweeted out about a cup activity I did in my classroom.   He asked me to be a part of the #StoriesinEDU Podcast with Josh and Mandy.   The rest is history!   I am so grateful to all of these educators, and especially Joy Kirr who is the reason as to why this blog is happening and why I'm thriving even more in the classroom.



I am blessed with an amazing PLN and I thank all of you.   If you are reading this, please comment - give feedback - I'd love to hear it!    Comment.   Text.  Tweet.   E-mail.
