I feel as though I have been given some very worthy advice about how to use twitter, in a more ethical way. I had no idea when I opened my original account there were in and outs of this new social media. I will admit to being a bit of a follower of my favorite actresses, opera companies and pop stars. Afterall, this is the part of my job that keeps me current.
Following others and keeping up with them is challenging. I am interested in not just education, but also what is current with young people these days in pop culture. I try to use my limited gain of information to steer kids towards good influences, people who will inspire. I especially like to stay current with latest concert series in New York. I had been able to visit the city up 2 times a year before we had a family. I would see as many shows as my budget would allow in a week's time. I really miss seeing live art. I miss seeing my friends performing. I am not sure I miss performing as much though. My nerves have gotten rusty!
I will look for more new and coming performers and performances. These are what inspire me!

After reading parts of this manifesto, I am challenged by this disgruntled person. Education does have room to grow; how is to be seen. I believe that no matter the facility, or school those of us attend, we rise and become the people we are meant to become. Should we try to produce more than what can be produced from all individuals? I have had this conversation.....as he says we need to some of us to continue to be industrialists. Innovators and innovations will come...
As an educator, I should continue to strive, to grow, to challenge myself and those in my classroom. I look for new projects, new music, new ways to inspire and create every year. When I hit a stumbling block, I evaluate and move on.
Good for Seth, to manifest such thoughts. I encourage all people to really think about the educational process. How about thoughts from those have been the latest geniuses? Are they sharing their ideas on their education and what they would have liked better, or are they just creating and doing because that is what they were meant to do? Some are the salt, others are the pepper!
