Amazing. Fascinating. Stunning. International. Significant. Important. All words that come to mind when I think about my Saturday 24 hour PLN and the amazing people who shared their time, energy, knowledge and resources. Free. Over 1000 people signed up across the world and many more will come back over the next few weeks and review.
For me, I was out of my comfort level. At my grand ole age (lets just say over 50), technology can be quite challenging and overwhelming. I didn't grow up with it. I did have TV, but I had to get up to change the channel. I did have a phone, but the cord was so long I could walk around the corner in the kitchen to sit in the pantry to talk (privacy, because there was only one phone and it wasn't portable). I played in the street and road my bike until dark when I was expected to be home. My mom couldn't text or call me, she went out and yelled for me.
So to have this concept of talking in real time to so many people who feel as passionate about quality physical education as I do, is quite daunting. Now, I am on social media and I love innovation. But for me, the "tozzl" and all of the links to website and apps put my mind in a tailspin. I was possessed! I didn't sleep! I was scared I would miss something as if it wouldn't record. I even was driven to create this web page all by myself.
I have been bitten by the bug, just as I was at 21 knowing I wanted to be the best physical education teacher I could be. I wanted to make a difference in this world and now, I feel renewed in that challenge. Thank you Physedagogy team - for having the vision and foresight for this Summit. Thank you for working with an old woman like me! Thank you for your work ethic and tremendous heart. You are what love and teaching are all about and I am so honored to be a part of 3.0.
