There are tons of pull and push resources in which I gather to share with my staff.  I pull information from places like Twitter,FB, various nings, and even Google Reader.  I am able to decide which materials are relevant to me, ones that I could share with others, and those that I may not need just yet.

I also have resources that I like to push information out to others like Glogster or even blogger where I can assist others with resources and materials that maybe others can utlize.  (At that is what I try to do:)

But how do I pull or push out reflection on what I am trying to accomplish in my little world of professional learning.  Where can I go for that information or how can I send it out to others??  So I have to take some time to think for myself and see what I am doing is really working.  I would like to say yes, but data could say no.  Therefore, I am going to start thinking about how I can pull in reflection on a daily basis and push out my ideas or thoughts to those that may be able to pull in one nugget of information.

I am going to start to keep a OneNote book about my daily reflections and see where it takes me.   I am going to review what I do on a daily basis and then see how I can improve my own professional learning and the learning of others.   There is something important to putting ideas down on to open up a place for new thoughts and I am going to give it a shot!    

Does anyone else feel like they are in a tug of war with ideas??

I agree. I think that reflection should be a big part of growing and seeing if we are meeting our goals with what we are trying to do. I think I share this tug a war because I am the only person in my school with my job description so often my colleagues aren't on the same page with what my aims and goals are. I find if you don't have colleagues that share the same job as you it makes it harder to have "data' based reflections ones that others can also provide feed back on to see if your "meter" is going in the direction it was intended to.
