PD...

After PD days my brain feels like mush... felt like crying for no apparent reason randomly later on in the day... Is there such a thing as too much PD? I feel just a little bit panicky every time I sit and learn something new... there is only so much NEW you can incorporate in a year with out losing your sanity. I will share some links a little bit later on in this post that I either learned about today or was reminded about... 

I was teacher watching today as I walked around... you know... people watching but they were all teachers ... I got to thinking... wow if I ever have children I would not want some of these teachers teaching my child. Or any child I know... they way some people were talking... scared me a bit... 

My PD was part of a city wide PD with a bunch of different sessions. I was at the Math PD. I had a session on Problem Solving in the am and Place Value in the pm. I just gotta say I love having an ipod because I could look up things and find things that fit with what the presenter was talking about on Pinterest or just online. Some of the Links I discovered today... I havent pursued them futher yet but have them all book marked:) Some are math links and others are just the rabbit trails I tend to go down:P

I also heard the name Debbie Diller. Never heard of her before... but her book that was passed around during our session looked interesting. Will be looking more into her stuff in the near future:)
