I think I’m having a crisis of faith. Not in the Big Guy, the Original G, but in the profession I love. I don’t want to be a teacher anymore, and it’s breaking my heart. Prior to this writing, I’ve had frustrating days, weeks, and even a year or two. They seemed to be never-ending, […]
After looking at Classroom 2.0, I decided against joining. It seems a bit dated, with many posts being 3 years old. Also, any media reviews a over a year old, and no one I know has heard of Ning. I am quite happy with the communities I currently participate in for my PLN, and feel […]
This is a good video to watch to help get started with TweetDeck. Ms. Hurley gives great direction and helpful hints to get you going. I’m looking forward to the chats I’m following this week. Of course, that’s if I remember to open my laptop. The last two weeks, I either forgot about them, or […]
The Twittersphere is all abuzz (a-tweet?) with ideas for educators. But do the majority of teachers realize this? I didn’t, until last summer. I’d never even considered it until a coworker suggested it. I assumed Twitter was for Hollywood-types, and people who followed the Kardashians (for whatever reason). Twitter for teachers? Huh. This same co-worker […]
6. It’s 6 ways. 1. Twitter I started 2 Twitter accounts last year, one for personal and the other for education. I am never on my personal account anymore; however, my educational account is always logged in. The fact that Tweets are so brief, but contain so much information, is truly appealing to busy lives. […]
We began using Chromebooks in my school this year and had two days of training in which we received TONS of nerdy, awesome information. First off, I LOVE Google and Chrome. So much to do; so much to be done. Our instructor was Rich Kiker who never batted an eye when we had difficulty, shared amazing […]
A teacher’s Summer Vacation is the envy of all non-teachers. Honestly! We are so lucky to get three months off to do whatever we want. No work, no worries. There should be a commercial for teacher recruitment at all colleges showing blessedly bliss teachers frolicking on the beach in long gauzy dresses, you know, like […]
I’m over it. I’m over being a teacher. I’m done. I just don’t need a new school, or grade, or student body. It’s more than that. I’m tired of students not coming prepared. I’m tired of lazy students. I’m tired of students that can’t/won’t think for themselves. I’m sick of parents that do (or don’t […]
My most-autistic student, “Steve,” had a breakthrough yesterday. We were in the sensory room and he asked to play Hide and Seek. He’s never asked that before, nor does he ever ask to play with us. Great! We played for about 5 minutes before getting back to work. Later that day while out at recess, […]
