Doug Peterson interviews Michelle Cordy, who, as he said, appeared to many to have "burst upon the scene with her closing keynote address at the 2016 ISTE Conference." Here's the Periscope recording of that talk; here are some sketchnotes from it; here's an article about the talk). Titled "Show up and refuse to leave" it touched exactly the right note with the audience (and I have to admit, it's a message that resonates with me as well). It's a bit of a softball interview but I appreciate the look at the interests and activities of a classroom teacher who takes the time to share with the rest of us. "The reality is that I am a full time classroom teacher," she writes, "and I am not a professional speaker or consultant. It is very difficult for me to be away from the classroom. So, I must be very selective about the work I choose to do in addition to my classroom responsibilities. You won't see my face on too many conference flyers after ISTE." Too bad. Here's her blog, Hack the Classroom.
