Creative Compromise

This past week has been very busy for me. Instructional wise my classes were to begin a very big project. However I have been waiting for equipment since day one of this semester. I pushed this project back way into September because I just knew it would arrive. Well of coarse I am still without cameras. As I sat in my seat reconstructing my lesson plans I let me angry distract my creative juices. My cell phone then rang and it was a picture from a friend. It hit me. Why not have the kids just use their cell phones to take the pictures. This was a great way for me to get started with the project as planned without messing up my wonderful NTI lesson plans. Seriously what I learned was to keep my mind open and creative. I have complained about lack of resources but its like by now I should be used to it. I will be sure to see the glass as half full instead of half empty.
