Finding resources that will motivate students to write is like mining for diamonds. The technology gems I am mining must meet certain guidelines. When I mine for technology gems, I’m seeking tools that will extend learning beyond the classroom. I’m seeking something big here.like diamonds. I soaked it all up.

Often schools who have arts, STEM or other enrichment choose to take one enrichment period and have a “genius hour” where students explore their talents to make and create. Passion Projects. A student is allowed to select a project in a course of study that is of personal interest. Some people might call it a personal interest project.

Yours and mine. Diamonds-in-the-rough enter business schools and come out the other end as so many polished clones addicted to the dehumanizing power of classification and systemization. It is amorphous, magical, unmeasurable and unpredictable…But we need our genius to bail ourselves out of the messes we continually get ourselves into.

We don’t know how much truth there is to that story, but we do know that just a few decades later, the site had been transformed into the first commercial graphite mine. Diamond’s delicate cousin. A few years later, another pure-carbon mineral was revealed: diamond. Diamond is clear and incredibly strong.

There are SO many social media outlets out there to choose from - it could either be a mine-field or a diamond mine in terms of connecting, sharing, and creating your own Personal Learning Network or PLN. Being an educator actively involved with social media professionally, is an optional and a daring choice.

Of course I love Tiffany, pearls, diamonds, and funky custom jewelry -- (in fact, I have a few artists on Etsy.com who design drusy & other delights for me!) The antique bisque china doll head necklace pictured is a favourite of mine - designed by Louise Black of Project Runway fame. The fun in this? Genius, I know.

As I look back, I recall a Catholic priest friend of mine. I mean diamond in a desert kind of lucky. I look back on my 10 years in the classroom with a combination of joy, nostalgia, bitterness and resentment. My leaders betrayed me, all the other teachers, the children, parents, and our towns and cities. Two words: You.
