TCAPSLoop Weekly Episode 32...Resolutions

What are you doing this New Years!

Danelle and I share our 2018 New Years Resolutions including:

Getting out into classrooms more often.  I'm looking at you, Marie Willis, Amanda Engle, Ryan Schrock and the #TraverseHeights Launch Pad!


Volunteering with local friend of the pod Norte - Check out this Big Traverse City Dig Out 9&10 News Story

Sharing a Mindfulness practice at work (without being insufferable). See the Tech Tool of the Week for more info.

Make more use out of the Commute listening to podcasts and Audiobooks:

1. Kid Friendly Podcast - Brains On (Danelle's kids' favorite episode: Animal Farts, A Mighty Wind)
2. Educator Podcasts - Cult of Pedagogy, The Creative Classroom
3. Download Audiobooks from your local Public Library using Overdrive.
