So, the first month of 2013 is here and gone—just like that! How is it even possible? Where did the time go? And better yet—what did I accomplish? Fortunately, I can answer that last question by taking a look at my #edugood 365 Photo Project—one I created using the ShutterCal app.

It’s pretty neat having the chance to check out the happenings in my classroom (and life) throughout the past month via a visual timeline—Tech Club activities, student projects, professional development sessions with my BFFs  and of course, fun times with the family and my favorite furballs. Edugood? Nope—more like edu-totally-awesome!

Sure, committing to set aside time on a daily basis to take a meaningful photo and then upload it to my ShutterCal has added another item to my ever-growing to-do list; however, the advantages of documenting my students in action far outweigh any drawbacks that I could possibly encounter. Plus, I have found that I really enjoy trying to find a way to photograph something cool about my day, every day. It’s amazing the good that can be found when the search is for the positive as opposed to dwelling on the negative and/or a circumstance that is beyond one’s control. Just saying!

So, if you haven’t joined the #edugood 365 Photo Project—it’s not too late! Trust me, it’s time well spent! In the meantime, check out all the edugoodness at BAMS!
