2022 One Word Graphic Templates

“One word you can focus on every day, all year long… One word that sums up who you want to be or how you want to live.”
“It will take intentionality and commitment, but if you let it, your one word will shape not only your year, but also you. It will become the compass that directs your decisions and guides your steps.”


There is nothing wrong with New Year’s Resolutions, but too often I make resolutions that are just not sustainable. A few years ago I was inspired by my PLN and Jon Gordon’s One Word that Will Change Your Life book to shift my thinking about making New Year’s Resolutions and shift to the idea of choosing a word as my foundation for the year. Earlier this month I shared my one word activity for students and today I wanted to share my word and some graphic templates that should help students and teachers share their one word for 2022. 

This year I thought about quite a few different words and finally landed on the word “Heart”. The last two years have been a challenge and I need to remind myself in 2022 that I love what I am doing and I need to put my whole heart into my professional and personal life. 

What will be your One Word connected to teaching and learning?

If you want to share your word with your PLN, here is a Google Slides template you can use. If you’ve never used Google Slides to create graphics, this post might help you get started. Adobe Spark is another great tool you can use to create graphics. Feel free to use or modify these resources if you think it is something your students would appreciate.

All About Me - Heart Maps to Start the Year

I am always looking for creative ways to get to know my students. I also love creative ideas that we can use to introduce them to some of the tools we use throughout the year. The past several years I have modeled our use of Padlet with a 7 Pictures – All About Me Project. This year I was inspired by  Marwa Elkelani to try something a little different. We are going to start with some Heart Maps and get some practice with Google Drawings or Google Slides. A heart map is a visual map that uses drawing, text, shapes, and images to share feelings, people and places you love, memories, experiences, and more. These can be created on paper or digitally. I think Canva , Adobe Express , Google Drawings, or Google Slides could all be used to facilitate the creation of these digitally. I am going to focus on Google Drawings and Google Slides for this post. We use both Drawings and Slides to create during the year, so I love the idea of exploring these tools with students early in the school...
