SAGE Reflections

After several months of planning with @ZBettess SAGE was finally underway! Reflecting on this day is important to me as an educator because it's the one day that educators all over Manitoba can connect, collaborate and share!

 I was very fortunate that we were able to bring in leading educators such as: @bluebomber6, @msmclauchlan, @sorokowskij, @room_ten, @amckiel, @jennmarieco, @MLBertram and @Cheri_L_Banks ! A fully locked and loaded team who shared amazing concepts, lessons, projects and topics with our 40 participants!

It is important to remember that technology is just the tool that we connect with. It is not a separate entity! When we take part in global projects and make connections with other classrooms, students are learning so much more beyond the Manitoba Curriculum! 

Listening to our team of presenters (along with myself and co-organizer, @ZBettess) made me think about how many great teachers are out there, sharing and inspiring other teachers. 

These are the reasons why this day is important. SAGE is important so that "the inspired" can continue to inspire. That the "leaders" and "collaborators" are sharing with those wanting to learn and take the initiatives to lead back at their own school. 

@680CJOB, the only thing that Manitoba Teachers were "raking" on Friday... Were new innovative ways to inspire, energize and connect our Manitoba Children to a world of possibilities.
