You captured the big picture perfectly. I think it would be good for people to see that what they are feeling is natural and we have all gone through most of these stages at different times as new stuff comes out. I felt much better after reading this because it made me feel like - hey, it's not just me! Thanks for this wonderful post! This was perfect and I will be sharing this with others.

I honestly could think back and remember myself at many of the stages. Each stage seems to be an integral part of the journey. This is a great piece of work. It should be required reading for all who are in education technology. Sylvia,

This was an amazing post! I honestly could think back and remember myself at many of the stages. Each stage seems to be an integral part of the journey.

This is a great piece of work. It should be required reading for all who are in education technology.

I'm bookmarking it for the future. When I spoke with the teachers in my building at the end of June, one of the teachers thought is was funny (but felt comforted) by the fact that I kept saying I know it feels like a lot of information, just choose one thing that interests you and go from there. I'm so happy to have been able to learn all that I have over the past year or two. It's the second circle of life that I'm enjoying now while I swirl through fire hose days. Very well put!

Now if there's some way we can express ride to the second Circle of Life stage and bypass some of the misery. Or if we could help our colleagues jettison to where we are and not feel the pain. I know, the pain and misery are part of the process where there is light at the end of the tunnel and our students benefit. Another well written, enjoyable post! (and "creative" too - you need to share these with Dan Pink!) Sylvia,

Dip the toes back into the water, if not take the full deep-end plunge. So what happens? I fire up my Twitter feed and the first thing I see is your post link like a neon sign welcoming me back to the circle of life. How did you know? Thanks. Now, just gotta remember to keep the toes IN the water. . .

Throw in teenagers of my own and failing health of family members and you start to question and withdraw even more. Continual questioning can lead to increased growth. I am thinking that everyone goes through a fall and surge of energy and that is definitely human. I enjoy all you write! Thanks for a great start to today.
