The 7 1/2 Traits were very interesting. For me, the easiest one is to begin with an end in mind. I think it comes naturally to me, but, also, my training as a teacher in writing curriculum, units, and lesson plans has shown me that if you don't begin with the end result as a goal, you could end up anywhere.
The hardest trait for me is to playfully use technology to my advantage. Is that one or two traits? I have willingly, with our librarian's fabulous help, introduced new technology, such as Keynote and IMovie, to my 6th grade GT students, but, although the students had a great time, it was really work, not play, for me. One of my main goals in taking this inservice is to become familiar with technology available to my students and to me so I can playfully enjoy it with them.
