Come Celebrate International Dot Day with Us – September 15, 2012
Every year on September 15, innovative educators around the world celebrateInternational Dot Day by making time to encourage their students’ creativity and genius potential. Inspired by Peter H. Reynolds treasured story, The Dot, students are encouraged to “make their mark” by starting simply with a dot and then seeing where that dot takes you.
I am especially looking forward to this year’s event. I have partnered with Peter and the amazing team at FableVision in an effort to connect like-minded educators willing to share their passions and talent with one another across the larger world community.
Over 350,000 educators and students have registered so far for International Dot Day and have signed up to share their stories with one another using the Skype in The Classroom Network. It is awe-inspiring to see children, teachers, leaders and entire communities representing all 50 states and spanning 6 continents join together to let one another know how much they matter to the world.
And, this is a perfect time to issue a challenge to all the worldchangers and leaders in your community to Make Their Mark and Make it Matter.
There is still time to participate so please join us:
- If you are a teacher/school and want to participate, there is still time to sign up your students at http://fablevisionlearning.com/dotday/signup.html. If you are a student and want to participate, talk with your teacher and parent.
