One of my fun indulgences is to read some of the truly great edublogs out there, most of whom I’ve discovered via Liz Ditz and EdWonks. I’ve been reading The Reflective Teacher’s blog since about August, and really enjoy it. It’s a treat to get some perspective from “the other side” and also to read about how creative teachers are incorporating technology into their curricula.
Earlier this week, Sticks, Bigdog and I attended College Night at his school, where we received about five inches of paperwork and murky instructions for how to go about getting college applications and financial aid packages done. (Big Note of Caution: Mommas, don’t let your babies grow up to be drummers who aspire to Berklee, IU, UNT, or Juilliard) I was overwhelmed and still am. So I did what any respectable ADHD adult would do — sat down and started reading blogs instead of dealing with it.
I came across a challenge from The Reflective Teacher to sum up my day in a sentence. It came so naturally to me that I was compelled to play. Here it is:
College applications leave otherwise rational adults flummoxed.
I was pleasantly surprised to receive a visit and some kind words from The Reflective Teacher in return for that 7-word sentence, but even more pleasantly surprised to find some new and interesting blogs to visit from other bloggers that played. It’s a fun challenge, whether you are an edublogger or just an “almost anything goes” blogger like me. 
Go check it out and have some fun.
And if you want to sum up this day in a sentence, post it in the comments and we’ll pass the fun along.
PS to Reflective Teacher — You’ve got it exactly right …you just never know what I’ll be writing about next.
