CONNECT WITH ME
Beyond the classrooms walls. What an amazing concept. It didn’t exist when I was going to school. It didn’t exist when I had my own classroom. But now, it is here and I am in. I love it. We all have something amazing to share with others. What is your passion that you can share. What can you bring to the table? For me it is reading books. I read to as many classrooms as I can through Skype and I love it. So, what is in it for me. Nothing. I volunteer my time and enjoy the satisfaction of sharing my passion with others. Thanks for the wonderful post.
Wow…How lovely that you took the time to comment! I’m so glad you liked the podcast…Thanks a bunch! I am loving that you are reading to classrooms via Skype. That’s so amazing! I would love to have the opportunity to do that too. You have inspired me to connect with my global pals and share my love of reading with their students! Cheers!
