There is always something exciting about the start of a new year. I love seeing the looks on the faces of my students as they enter the SmartLab for the first time. Students do not know which way to look first because there are all sorts of objects that draw their attention. When the kids sit, they love the comfortable chairs. That's when they look at me. Some are inspired and raring to go, others are tentative and not sure, and others may refuse to try. My job is to inspire and motivate, which sometimes is easy and sometimes a riddle. I try to draw on things that inspire me.
This summer I was able to spend time being inspired. A trip to Walt Disney World always gets my technology gears going. I see so much of what kids can do in my lab there. I would love to take them all there so they can see with their own eyes and see the attention to detail and creativity combined with technology. The other inspiration is the musical Wicked. I think the creativity of this story is awesome, the characters are well played and the music is great. This play always motivates me! Incidentally, I do get to take the students to see Wicked!
