Work Smart, Not Hard One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned during my time in the practicum of the Ed program is that; one should work smart, not hard. This is not to discredit the value of a good work ethic and hard work, this is more to emphasise that as teachers, we have an incredibly large pool of resources available to us. Learning to use resources and ‘making them your own’ is a skill to have and one that will not only make your life easier but will make you a more effective teacher. Even this very project is a good example of the ‘work smart, not hard’ motto. I spent about two hours fiddling around on the Pixlr website trying to create one of the images as a transparent PNG file. When I finally gave up and did a quick search on Google, the answers were provided instantaneously. As teachers, we need to understand that we have resources available to us and that we need to make use of those resources in order to work smart and not hard. Original Images
