You two discussed having a knish I believe is what you called it. I agree with that because it would help you stand out much like using a different colored paper if you was handing it in to the person. But, wouldn’t it really depend on your explanation of it on the resume, or is that something you would have explain in person? What about maybe doing an audio resume if that makes since? How would that look to a recruiter or a principal? I mean I like doing things different and by putting my own spin on things would that help me stand out. I think it would be interesting if when you opened up the email instead of seeing a cover page and then have to read everything you get a song that makes sense and you can understand the words. I think it would definitely be more energetic than the rest.
After listening to you and Mr. Blumegarten and Mrs. Vandergrift’s discussion. I have really become excited to find out what my knish and my sentence might be. I’ve always been energetic and outspoken no matter the topic but I wonder if that could also be my downfall as to what people might think of my approach on things. I’ve never really done the twitter or blog stuff so it is all new to me I have a Facebook. My husband uses it strictly to talk to his family since he lives so far away from them. So the whole social media stuff is new to me and very hard to understand. How can using this stuff become easier and useful to help me in my career and in life?
After watching both of these I agree with everything they are saying. I especially found it interesting that they all has their own knish as they call it. Dr. Will in the interview with Tracy Brisson was told that finding a knish is like having your own way a kind of a stand out thing on the resume is a good thing. He even states after reading her book he did some changes to his own resume. He was also told that there is a huge supply of teachers now a days, so it is good to really sell yourself not only on the resume but even as you continue the process of the interview or whatever.
She also tells you that there are several ways to make your resume easier to understand. She also states that you should put whatever you have more of whether it be education or experience near the top. She also explains how it will help the flow of the resume. My question is this when explaining what your knish might be should you just say what it is on the resume and then explain later when they ask, or should you try to explain it, and let them try to make sense of it?
I’m new to the whole social media stuff I’ve never really used it. Right now I’m kind of struggling to figure it out. In both of these blogs they all speak very highly of the social networking. I still don’t understand it all, but I can agree with them when they say it can help communicate with one another not just as individuals, but as class room to class room so if one class is doing an experiment or something other classes can see it as well.
In the video blog Peoplegogy TV your one sentence they speak of what inspired them. They all agreed that it was the wanting of change and trying to give more help that inspired them to do the things they do and how they do it Jerry “Cybraryman” Blumegarten said “ Everyone should have a mission statement not just the teachers, and the parents, but the students as well.” He goes on to say that at each holiday such as Halloween and Thanksgiving he has the students reevaluate their mission statements to see if things have changed.” They all speak of connection, and how using social tools such as twitter and other means of technology really benefits the teachers now a days because they can communicate with classes and do presentations and things whenever they can’t make it to actual school. It also helps teachers and consultants communicate with each other to find out how certain situations or circumstances can be handled. It lets the teachers talk with one another, and get to know each other before a presentation or something.
Everyone’s sentence is different. Everyone is trying to find their own. Once it is found they discover that as they age it grows and expands with them. When asked if it is better to be focused on one either ADE or google or is it better to be focused on both? Mrs. Vandergrift says” It’s good to have them both in the classroom but as far as out of the classroom the job listing is limited so you should be focused on one or the other she goes on to state her sentence is people she places them first and tablets and apps second she believes in her sentence even though it’s probably backed her into a corner she would rather put people first than anything else. She don’t know it all about either but she does know who to tweet about google or ADE.
Mr. Blumegarten says” have as many skills and abilities as possible knowledge is everything know as much as you can because you never know where it can apply its great to be an expert, but you have to have knowledge in all areas you can’t know everything or be an expert on everything.
