The advent of the automobile brought dramatic advances in our capabilities around travel and mobility. Over time, the affordability, reliability, capabilities and infrastructure would develop such that its use spread from a select group of adventurous pioneers to the everyday lives of average individuals, including young adults. Over time, rules, regulations, laws, etiquette, licenses, mandatory training and government oversight bodies would develop to improve…

Last night (October 26th) during Edchat there was a discussion about instilling the concept of being a lifelong learner into educators. Personally I am of the opinion that someone who has devoted their life to instilling a love of learning in others should be expected to be lifelong learner themselves. I do agree that there needs to be… Continue

I was once told by an Athletic Director that those who criticize your work are in the vocal minority while those who support you are in the silent majority. I didn't really want to admit that this was true and it
took me some time to come to terms with this, but it really hits this
subject on the head. My current principal and I have had this
conversation recently as well when dealing with what it takes to get
people to follow directions. If you take the time to think…

I'd like to make something clear regarding my recent post on Waiting for Superman -- please don't read my post thinking that I'm necessarily drinking all of the Kool-Aid. I have questions and doubts just like
anybody else. I don't believe that charters and KIPP and Geoffrey Canada
are the end all be all, if you will. I'm a public school teacher who
believes very strongly that we need to fix our system and I believe that
teachers in the public schools are doing a…

Sure, the PLN has provided me with a rich supply of digital resources.
Certainly, the PLN has given me access to so many wonderful teaching ideas.
And absolutely, the PLN has kept me informed about what is going on in education both nationally and globally.
But that is not why the PLN matters to me.
I know that most school environments and staffs support their teachers. I know because most of my 20+ years of teaching has been in these environments.
But some of us…

Hello everyone out there. I will be attending a two day digital storytelling inservice and was curious about the following:
1. How many librarians/media specialists out there use it?
2. How often is it used?
3. If you do use it, is it stand alone or is it coupled with other lesson content?
Let me know!

Feedback to students can come from different sources: peers, teachers and the student's own reflection. In this post, I will concentrate on feedback given by teachers and how it can contribute to student
learning. Having written a minor thesis on formative assessment, I have found the literature on feedback quite prolific. In
my post, I offer 7 characteristics of good feedback…
