Be the Spark


In The Innovative Mindset, George Couros said "Our job, sometimes, is simply to be the spark, help build confidence, and then get out of the way." (pg. 78) This sentence really stood out to me.

When I find something that interests me, I tend to jump in with both feet. Sometimes, I get a little too enthusiastic and might scare others away.  But, at this stage in my life, being an empty-nester, I am lucky enough to have the time to dedicate to my new "obsessions".  Right now, this is learning how to most effectively integrate technology into the classroom.  If I can share my passion with my peers and ignite a spark in them, then all the better.

    I hope that through this process we can all be a spark to those we work directly with on a daily basis. It’s so hard to remain positive when surrounded by a lot of negativity, but you never know the impact you have on your peers. Same as your students. You are amazing!!
