This totally has nothing to do with teaching, but it’s an interesting question. If you had one super power, what would it be? How would you use it?
If you’re wondering where this question comes from, I was listening to the latest podcast of This American Life about Superpowers and it struck me as something interesting. I thought I’d see what my readers thought. Plus it’s a nice change of pace from the beginning of school and inservices and all of that stuff.
Go check out more about the podcast here.
So again I ask; if you had one super power, what would it be? How would you use it? Discuss in the comments…

I think I would choose shape shifting. Then I could be anybody! Muahahahaha!

I would choose the power to fly. I love to travel…what better way. The castles of Ireland, Scotland, Germany…they would be so much easier to see and far cheaper too…if only I could fly.

I think most people would use invisibility for devious means. I like Ava’s "eat whatever you want and still look good in your supersuit" one! I want that one…
