 * "5 Educational Trends for 2013" by Nicky Hockly


 * New Year's Professional Growth Resolutions **
 * **SHORT TERM** - Some sort of technology integrating lesson or activity you want to do with your students //THIS MONTH//.
 * **LONG TERM** - A major change in the way you teach or manage your classroom. "I want to do less of //THAT// and more of //THIS//." It could include a blog, a wiki, a web site used for flipping your classroom, going paperless with Google Docs, using digital portfolios for student work, integrating project based learning using a specific tool or tools - there are many possibilities. Think of something you've seen so far this year that makes you "spark" and think, "Yeah! I want to do more of //THAT//!"
