Welcome to CBE 182, we thank you for visiting and hope that you continue to visit and consider sharing your own story. The premise of this project is simple, to share one story of learning a day from somebody connected with the CBE. So, what have I learned today? I have learned that there are powerful examples of learning occurring throughout the CBE, whether it be by a student, teacher, parent, administrator or trustee we all have a story to share. This project is a modest attempt to share those stories with one another. While many of the stories shared here will highlight fantastic projects and lessons, I hope to read stories where learning happened when things didn't go as planned or came from an unexpected source. 

Narratives and stories are powerful and Seth Godin discusses how it is through these stories that people connect with a product or event.  CBE 182 is one attempt to bring together 182 unique stories of learning and to craft a larger narrative about what it means and looks like to learn within the CBE. Before launching, there were many questions, could we get 64 original stories before the end of the year? Would people want to share their own personal learning story? So far the answer to these questions appears to be yes. Ultimately the hope is that this site will grow into a place where one person's OBVIOUS is somebody else's AMAZING, regardless of how they are connected with the school community. In short, I have learned that learning can happen in the most unexpected ways in the most unexpected places. You can visit two projects that helped inspire CBE 182 at the links below.

Matt (@ArmstrongYYC) is a teacher at Elboya School.

This is a sample post to show what information will be shared by the contributors.  We are asking for pictures that support the writing, which may contain faces and other identifying factors - although we will ask people to be cognizant of what is in the photo.

The main body will be a reflection or story responding to "What Did You Learn Today?" which is written from their perspective as someone involved with moving student learning forward in the CBE.

At the end of the post, there will be a brief 140 character(ish) bio, written by the contributor, that reflect who they are as a person.  See below for an example.

While the posts will be open for comments, all comments will be moderated for content before being approved.
