Thanksgiving is a great time to reflect. I am lucky to have a wonderful wife and two great children. I remind myself not to take that for granted. No matter what challenges life may bring, your family is always there for you.
On a professional level, I am thankful for many of the great educators and colleagues I have met through Twitter. Thanks to…
@Jonharper70bd for becoming an inspiring writer/blogger whose posts are elegant and poignant.
@RunnerBliss @KNESconnoisseur and @jaimer9578 for motivating me to become a better runner.
@WalterReap @lindamcToth and @rachelamstutz for making #mdeschat a successful professional development tool.
@psikeffer @MrCsajko @janercooper @Ms_Stover @missreed and @Grade3withMissB for always adding great insight to the #mdeschat conversation.
@JessMuonio and @LTaylorELA for sending out tweets that make me laugh.
@buttercup01em and @MrsToal05 for using Twitter to connect with our school community.
@RHLeeESAACPS teachers who have embraced Twitter to connect with parents.
@PrincipalDerby @RegAMF42 and @MrMoxley for setting such a great example for how social media can enhance communication with parents and colleagues and also for their green school efforts and advocacy.
@nlattimore for being such an inspiring leader and Ravens fan!
and, finally…
to @ppw78 for her partnership and unwavering support!
I have certainly missed many others who make me a better person and educator. Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to help me grow. Enjoy your Thanksgiving, see you on Twitter!
Chris I am honored and touched by your mention in this post. This is truly a wonderful post because you are spending your time thanking others. I feel so very fortunate to have you in my PLN and look forward to meeting one day.
Thanks, Jon! I’m sure our paths will cross.
