Chalk Talk Friday represents conversations and brilliance I’ve discovered traversing my way through the Blogosphere.  From professional to personal development, these  are the posts and links have in some way touched my head or my heart.

Lots of GREAT stuff this week!

• Here’s your chance to try EdWeek free! (yes, I said FREE!) The folks at Ed Week are offering a trail PREMIUM MEMBERSHIP for two weeks. What a wonderful way to stay abreast of all the latest and greatest in Education! Give it a try!
• Incredible Content Literacy Resource site! Tons of lesson plans, downloads, and grade/content level specifics-all under one roof!
• Here is a great read from on of my favorite blogs, Leader Talk. Read Micheal’s thought-provoking post in response to the Time Magazine article, The Teachers We Need, in response to the Time magazine article on 21st Century Education. Love to hear your thoughts on this one!
• Scott, at Dangerously Irrelevant, has a great professional development activity for a staff at any level on 21st Century Skills. This is hands on, relevant, and definitely worth the time. Thanks, Scott for putting this one together – excellent conversation for a PD day or staff meeting.

Enjoy your week everyone!
