I don't know if I mentioned here it, but I was nominated for a Golden Apple award in the fall and found out a few weeks ago I was a finalist! Last week, I was visited by Golden Apple colleagues who came by to observe and conduct some interviews. Even though I did not sleep the night before, it really turned out to be such a great day, only to be followed by today and the brunch for the finalists.

All of my parents live far away, mom and stepdad in Florida and dad and stepmom in Michigan, but technology makes us so connected! As I was sitting there listening to the keynote, I got a text from my mom:



They were streaming the event on facebook, so she, along with some of my aunts and family members, were able to tune in and watch along.

There are miles between us, and months and months worth of time, but today, we were connected by facebook live and text messages. It's *almost as good as the real thing!


You've made it to day 5, congrats kiddos! Here's the padlet with a bunch of ideas and be sure to pop over to Two Writing Teachers and leave some comments for other bloggers in the challenge!

Since we're not together today here's a quick write prompt for you, if you'd like to use it! 

My favorite thing about the weekends is....

Looking forward to reading your posts!

  8. Between Periscope and Facebook, streaming is so stinking easy anymore! I try to get up close at our high school's band and choir conferences because I try to Facebook stream them out. My parents can watch them at their leisure, but it's great when a community member says thank you because they couldn't attend.

    Thank you for sharing this techie slice with us! :)
