#BookSnaps
#BookSnaps are digital, visual representations of learning! They are fantastic ways to peek into the minds of your leaners and check for understanding. The beautiful thing about this comprehension strategy is it works for ALL content areas and with many different apps.

THE REAL JOURNEY SHOW
On The #RealJourneyShow, you can expect the guests (of all backgrounds and professions) to share a "REAL Journey" they have experienced--from origin to current, the rocky middle, and what is yet to come. The journeys of each guest will vary, but there is one thing that will remain constant. The listeners will be reminded that life experiences have a compelling way of connecting us, inspiring us, and empowering us to stay REAL.
Why R.E.A.L.?
Writing the blog REAL is an outlet for me to pay it forward by sharing ideas, influences, lessons learned and exposing a little vulnerability while encouraging others to maximize their “REAL” potential, as well.
