I often wonder if others have never had a connection with a student that let them know how it feels to make a difference. Or if they've never learned something new that they wanted to share with students. Do they ever get excited about anything? Hmmm. Questions to ponder.<br /><br />( I stumbled onto your blog through Twitter, but I will definitely be back.)Deb Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00861392500601183208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8607869027699454375.post-87829181591549218822011-10-27T09:04:18.689-07:002011-10-27T09:04:18.689-07:00Chris,
I really appreciate you sharing with your s...Chris,<br />I really appreciate you sharing with your staff about Edcamp KC. If no one shared, it'd just be me standing around by myself on November 5th. :) We can speculate all day long about the reason for that response. I don't know how you replied, if you replied at all. It doesn't matter. What I am focusing on is that you took the time to share and hopefully get some folks interested in a different, yet rewarding way of learning with their peers. It doesn't matter if they come to KC, St. Louis, or wherever. Don't let one bring you down. If just one other person decides to try this new thing called an edcamp and branch out in their thinking about best practices, you won. :) See you soon!Kyle Pacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12401813048240511128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8607869027699454375.post-9836033647520310952011-10-27T08:24:52.392-07:002011-10-27T08:24:52.392-07:00Keep on pushing positive growth, learning and chan...Keep on pushing positive growth, learning and change. Life wears us down as we pass through and it's important to take notice of the friction points. You can avoid them or work to change their surface, as well as what's below.Kevin Honeycutthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02592668927216657709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8607869027699454375.post-68231384599635976152011-10-26T23:27:07.007-07:002011-10-26T23:27:07.007-07:00Know your place?

Well I believe (and based on what I’ve read on your blog I think you do too) that the role of educator today calls for inspirational and distributed leadership - one that is not defined by title or position.<br /><br />The whole point of an edcamp is to explore educational issues/topics not as a goal but as a process of engagement around moral purpose and identity. if you can find me an "office" that has this as a mandate, let me know 'cause I'd love to work there! <br /><br />Chris, one piece of advice only: leadership and teaching are not so much about easing people into knowing something they don’t know, but about challenging them to notice in ways they might not have noticed. <br /><br />Your place? Right here, right now, sharing with all of us.<br />Onwards!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8607869027699454375.post-53890271181051894842011-10-26T19:55:03.500-07:002011-10-26T19:55:03.500-07:00What a great point Bill!

I explained to them that while Jesus loved everyone, many didn't love him back. The truth is if you don't have haters, you aren't doing anything worthwhile.
