So last night I was walking the dog and remembered, I need to see if me learning how to blog can help rebrand the AMDSB Student Senate and their desire to improve communication among students, students’ councils, and the Board and Trustees. Then I thought, I could possibly take what I am learning and see how we can get our secondary student body connected to each other and use the Senate’s blog/website as a conduit.
Guess what makes this a “What was I thinking?” moment. It was 10:30 PM. I know that I am in a class to learn how expand my digital portfolio but how in the world did my mind drift into the 2019-2020 academic school year? I mean, seriously… I am on vacation!!! As an educator needs to have the ability to turn off school and walk a dog while leaving school behind. Just like I never recall thinking about walking the dog even in my most boring moments at school, which are far, few, and in between. I then went into a quick meditation focusing on my breathing and being present with my sister-in-law’s dog that I agreed to watch for the week.
How was I able to do this?
