    The MAGIC and MISERY of STUDENT VIDEO SUBMISSIONS

    The MAGIC and MISERY of STUDENT VIDEO SUBMISSIONS

    Here's the bitter truth about student video submissions.

    They take forever to fully review.

    FOREVER.

    Some of my dear students sincerely expect me to watch every second of everything they post. Bless their hearts, but I can’t meet that demand and stay sane at the same time.

    What are we to do?

    Should we just give up and avoid video submissions altogether?

    Welcome to SPARKS: mini-segments intended to spark your thinking and ignite your practice. These short episodes are based on my written reflections, which you can read any time at teachersonfire.net.

    How I'm GETTING My FIRE BACK (When I'm not creating, it's not okay.)

    How I'm GETTING My FIRE BACK (When I'm not creating, it's not okay.)

    My creative silence is both a symptom and a cause, so finding the time and bandwidth to create again is bringing my fire back this summer.

    How are YOU recharging, colleague?
