WELCOME

Wandering Wordsmiths; Emerging Experts; Living Learning

We are all learners; please be patient with us.

Wowser! It’s another day! What else could we do today?

What Else? That’s the question to ask, to be curious, to engage more fully in whatever you are doing.

And, “What Else?” is the question to ask when writing or creating — the thinking behind doing.

What Else? What detail, event, verb, description, structure, feature, etc. could I add to engage my reader in a mind movie, to inspire my reader to question, reflect, argue, and read on?

What Else?

Which is why it is the question I ask daily, and is the question, when I was teaching for 31 years, that my students asked daily. Even our wiki and blogs were entitled:

This blog shares my own thoughts, my own imperfect, learning journey, as I ask “What Else?” – even in retirement.

I also blog at Ask What Else at WordPress, I Wonder If I Draw A Line Art Blog, and you can find me on Flickr. If you are interested in my art shops, see the links on my website for I Wonder If I Draw A Line.

Thanks for stopping by…

About Sheri Edwards


A Purpose

I taught Middle School Language Arts Media for thirty-one years and am now retired. Even so, I still understand that the world can be a global community, and building that community requires sharing and connections to understand each other and make the world better.

Students today enjoy the connectedness of social networking; it is part of their very being. My goal now and when teaching is to bring my instruction and my current projects into that cloud to share content in ways that inspire online responsibility and ethics in this new, very public world.

In addition, I, as I connect with other educators and artists about the emerging issues and pedagogy of connected learning, I reflect here on those issues, pedagogy, and connections that make for a diverse dialogue about what education could be. These are my reflections.

Please remember we are all learning. Neither my words nor those of my former students represent our school district, and our words belong to each of us as we strive to become better learners.

We question, we converse, we express, we suggest, we explore. We ask, “What Else?”

I am learning together with my colleagues in my professional learning as an educator, writer, and artist to share in an online, diverse, and welcoming neighborhood, just as my students were also learning together to build their neighborhoods and practice digital citizenship.

We are learning forward. Thank you for your patience as we grow.
