Some Time for Reflection

The biggest idea that I take with me is that it is not necessary to re-invent the wheel. In other words, if I want to do it, there is a chance that it has been done before. Even better, if it has been done before, it may even be posted online. That is where curricula gathering spots like Thinkfinity are useful.

I made similar statements last week to my cohort group. I have reinvented too many wheels :)

And we also have the power of another persons creativity to integrate with your creativity. Certainly repaint the wheel with the color that reflects your teaching style - but you are right, why re-invent?
