Thanks Britt Watwood! Here’s the masterpiece on Docstoc

Many thanks to Britt Watwood for twittering that he took this poem from yesterday’s post and made it into something to “hang on the wall.”

I asked him to forward it back and it again moved me to tears as when I wrote it… it is just so how much I feel and is almost ethereal, like I didn’t even write the thing.

I took it and am sharing it with you using a cool new site that lets me embed documents called docstoc.

Remembering Who I am – Get more documents

This site lets us upload and share all kinds of things. And image this — if we actually come up with a tagging standard and all begin to agree to use something like lesson_plan — then we can find lesson plans from one another. Free sharing!

Vicki Davis has been an educator and IT director in Georgia since 2002. Today, she also works as an instructional technology coach, staying side-by-side with active teachers and students so her work stays grounded in real classrooms.

She's a mom of three, wife of one, and loves talking about the wise, transformational use of technology for teaching and doing good in the world.

She has blogged at the Cool Cat Teacher Blog since 2005 and hosts the 10 Minute Teacher Podcast and Cool Cat Teacher Talk (radio, public access TV, YouTube, and all major podcast platforms), interviewing remarkable educators around the world. Vicki focuses on what unites us — a quest for truly remarkable, life-changing teaching and learning. The goal of her work is to provide actionable, encouraging, relevant ideas for teachers, grounded in truth and shared with love.

If you talk to Vicki for long, she'll encourage you to "Relate to Educate," to "innovate like a turtle," or to be "a remarkable teacher." She loves homemade sourdough bread and cinnamon rolls and runs half marathons with her sisters. You can usually find her laughing with her students or digging into a book.

Thank you for reading, sharing, and telling your friends about the work we do here! - Vicki

Your words were written for all of us…and all of us have felt or do feel these pressures.

(and it was fun picking appropriate fonts to match the feeling…)

You go, girl!

Hi Vicki,

I use http://www.scribd.com/ to post word docs and pdfs, and then embed them in our class wiki. Is docstoc better in some way?

This was beautiful. Thanks for the link to a new tool too. I don’t know if you noticed on twitter this morning but I think @dswaters and I were starting the @coolcatteacher fan club!
