I was honing my skills as a student this summer.  As I was taking in the information presented and shared from our various (and incredible) presenters, I noticed something about myself and my colleagues as students.  When we were watching multimedia presentations, we were most engaged and entertained by those videos that featured the students, the young people.  We are all in this profession because we enjoy our young students and the journey they travel as they learn.

I am going to apply that observation to my own videos for my Kenan Project.  I need to demonstrate something specific with those videos, but I believe that it will have the most impact if it can highlight how the students are working through those processes.  That is encouraging to me because 1) I am not fond of seeing myself on video and 2) I want the videos to be worth the time and effort (and “pain”).

Truly, the “something” borrowed from my PD this summer is a “something learned” for me and I’m excited to see the application of that new knowledge.
