Hello everyone.

What interesting threads of conversations have been surfacing here throughout the past two weeks. From introducing ourselves to sharing resources to digging into annotation,  curation and "paying attention" to our students in a way that surfaces what it means to teach and learn today. Nice job everyone.

So now in our final week we wanted to invite you to share one thing beyond P2PU and post or create something for the larger world and community some of your inquiry or thinking. It can be small … it can also be big! But we want to encourage taking an inquiry approach – putting on those reflective and thought-provoking inquiry goggles – and post something in the flow of a other conversations that you are thinking about from this work we’ve done together.

Here are a few ideas:

1. As Janet pointed out, there has been an active discussion happening on twitter now related to thinking about textbooks and the possibilities. You can start at Bud Hunt’s blog post on this subject -- Not #beyondthetextbook. #betterthetextbook -- or following the twitter chat that has been going strong since this weekend, #beyondthetextbook.
2. As demonstrated by a few people here, popular tools like Pinterest, Themeefy can be used to pull together a range of resources around a topic or inquiry of interest. Want to try your hand at starting one today if you haven’t used one of these forums yet?
3. Annotation has been an interesting topic this week too -- maybe go and digitally annotate something and then come back here and share? 
4. You can also take a lead from Tellio and post a reflective blog to share something that stood out for you.
5. Is your passion and inquiry around digital literacy? Well then we recommend you post a blog post at Digital Is! Join/login to the site and click on “create a blog” in the dashboard to begin. ... Want to start to draft a longer resource in DI? If so, submit a request here.
6. Other ideas, recommendations and suggestions?

We would love to hear where your inquiries take you too.

And because it's beautiful, here's a first grade project called Dragonflies in Our Backyard shared by teacher who learned how to use it while attending a California Writing Project event ... It was created with the help of another interesting tool called Animoto.
