Are you a dawdler or a doer?

First Five Days: Day 3 from Alas Media on Vimeo.

I've spent the week back at Building Learning Communities in Boston, working alongside my colleague Tom Barrett and hanging out with great friends old and new. AlasMedia, my LA pals with whom I spend far too much time into the wee small hours talking about film, education, music and life, produced this clip to sum up the urgency with which we need to take what we learn from intensive weeks like this and put it into action in our classrooms.

What are you going to do on the First Five Days of school to make that dent in the status quo? Tell us using the Twitter hashtag #1st5days

Nice article, thanks for the information.

I think most people are dawdlers.. doers are 1% of society.

This is very inspirational! I'm currently a graduate student in education, and I'm hoping to be a Doer - this is definitely putting me in the right mindset thinking about how I'll be in my classroom come september. Thanks!

Nice article! Yes more doer's and less dawdler's before it's too late.
