It’s not the tools. It’s how to you use them.


I was biking along the coast of Block Island and I came across this sign at the end of a driveway.

I studied it for a second and realized it said O’Toole spelled out in tools. I got such a kick out of this sign and that I stopped to snap a picture despite my rush to make the ferry. I was thinking about this sign as I set up my classroom today.

It’s not about the tools. It’s how you use them. This year I am going to let this photograph serve as a reminder. I plan to learn from the O’Toole family’s example and use the tools in that I have always had in my classroom in new creative ways that push the boundaries of the classroom walls.

What inspired you this summer?
