What a public way to experiment--I am always worried about making a HUGE mistake that everyone will see it and be, like, "what happened here?!?!" I think that being open to change is also a good idea. I originally started my blog as a way to document my ideas and then it evolved as a way to keep parents informed about what I was teaching, but then, once other people said, "Hey that's a neat idea" I gained more confidence and thought maybe other educators might like my ideas too. The art teacher blogging community is awesome and I'm so glad to be a part of it--the support is great and I learn so much. It really makes me a better teacher. And now, to plan some improvements to my own blog (labels, a new header, etc...) Thank you!

I've been reading your blog for over a year and LOVE it, so thank you for your diligent and creative posts and wisdom. And today, you mentioned my new blog--I'm Pennsylvania! Thank you! Oh my goodness, it feels like I just won an Emmy. I wish I had my ball gown on (although the closest thing I have to a ball gown is my wedding dress, so maybe I'll put that on after school).

As ...Yippee! I love meeting bloggers in person! <br /><br />As for what I'll be doing - I get exhausted just telling about it - I'll be teaching THREE workshops (I must be crazy). And, as a member of the Board (I'm region rep), I'll probably be working the registration desk at some point. Plus attending workshops when I can, and keynotes, and eating, and exploring the exhibitors....and staying up late and getting up early... and shmoozing... <br /><br />My workshops:<br />Friday: "Great Ideas with Recycled Materials" - a PowerPoint of images, and handouts, and just a bunch of easy ideas with shipping box cardboard, cereal boxes, CD's, and other junk. Nothing fancy, but hopefully practical.<br /><br />Saturday before lunch (depending on what time lunch ticket you select): my personal passion - "Get 'Stuck' with Papier-Mache" - again, a PowerPoint of images, and handouts, and lots of practical know-how on using papier-mache with kids and some stuff that works well. I LOVE papier-mache.<br /><br />Saturday afternoon: a hands-on follow-up papier-mache workshop, where participants will try out what I demo-ed in the earlier workshop, and create a prototype to take home. I think it will be fun, and I know sometimes you see great stuff at a conference but never have a chance to try it all out and it all gets pushed aside. I'm charging a small fee for materials (masking tape etc).<br /><br />I look forward to meeting you - I'm easy to recognize - 5'tall and silver hair past my shoulders.Phylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00482775924810462890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6650247255320056704.post-45621284095665016212012-10-23T23:49:16.633-04:002012-10-23T23:49:16.633-04:00Thanks, Janie!
