Have you ever had an idea, but weren't quite sure if it was a good one? That happens to me ALL the time and so often I let the idea slip away without taking a chance on it for fear of failure or embarrassment. I have no idea why I feel this way, but I always feel better when I have my trusted friend, Karen Gullatt, by my side to bounce ideas off of each other as we "think out loud" about projects and ideas. While we are deep in the middle of a major project at the moment, she has helped me realize that working as a team is much more powerful than doing something on my own.

While our project is still in the beginning stages, we have pushed beyond the vision and are getting closer each day to making it a reality. There were many times along the way that we stopped and questioned what we were doing and almost gave up altogether, but we pushed each other past the doubts and stood behind what we were working on. Encouragement provided by our awesome campus technologist @iteamalli and two supportive administrators, Chantel Kastrounis and Andra Penny, made us realize this really was something that could help others at a global level.
While we have been working together on our project, we had another realization ... we can share our vision and help it spread even more. In talking with others to see if they thought our idea was something classroom educators would use, some of them went out and gave it a whirl in their own classrooms. They were inspired by our idea and informed us that their learners LOVED it! We realized that part of leadership is inspiring others and even if our project totally bombs when we share it, we are still leaders in literacy!
What is this grand vision you are asking? You will have to stay tuned to find out in the next couple of weeks. BUT, sneak peeks will be coming through our Twitter handle @DigiLitBooks.
