PLN 9-Video Games Drive Me Nuts

I was looking through the area of the Thinking Stick when one in particular blog titled, "Why Not Take A Risk?" by Jeff Utecht caught my attention. This blog is about these five technology sessions offered to teachers about many new things. The sessions brought up programs of: Photoshop, blogging, Netvibes, and Beginner Basics. The purpose of these meetings were to inform teachers of teaching with technology but also showing these tools in a classroom. This blog basically summarized up teachers to take a risk in their teaching.

At school, there are always going to be limits in the classroom or on class work. Trying new things will keep others from knowing that they had not missed any opportunity, but instead to chance it. You will never know what you might learn, experience, or like if you do not try new risks. And I believe taking risks matters a lot in a lifetime. It defines who you are as a person and what you believe in.

No matter what in the world, taking risks are important. You might never know what you might have missed or gained. This includes school, sports, new activities, new jobs, a different perspective of living, or goals.
