This is the first AQ I've taken in some time, and WOW, is my brain ever full! I've really enjoyed getting to know everyone a little bit, and have already come away with so many new and innovative ideas to put into my professional practice next year.
I've been reminded of Skype in the Classroom, which I had previously really enjoyed, but got put off because the site was previously so difficult to navigate that I couldn't find relevant lessons. That seems to have been remedied now.
I have been brought back to my educational roots of reflection, as well as long-term planning. Reflecting on current practices and determining what's working (and what isn't) is so important for ourselves, but also for our students. Long-term planning helps us to avoid getting stuck in a rut and feeling immobile in our work.
I've been bookmarking like crazy, and while I am sensible enough to know I won't put everything into practice right away (one thing at a time!), I have lots of inspiration filed away for the coming years. I particularly enjoyed the Web 2.0 activity, as I found myself travelling down several interesting rabbit-holes into new resources I've never even heard of before!
I'm looking forward to the coming weeks and I hope we'll continue to find new and innovative ways to engage our students, especially with the continued threat of Covid-19 and potential distance learning.
