It is generally easier for incumbents to be reelected, so the possibility of someone being a Board Member "for life" is greater than one might think. I agree that our organization's leadership needs new members from time to time, for a variety of ...

- Hi Kevin,
I have a note in my email about connecting on CoSN's network, but it won't let me, so I thought I would say hello here! How are you doing? Things are going great at Tech4Learning and as usually insanely busy. How are things in Wayne-Westland? Despite the fact that we are doing okay, San Diego City Schools is not and it is only getting worse next year, much worse. I hope things are starting to rebound for you!

- Thanks, Dude. It is almost over and I have basically used it to rule out avenues of research that LOOKED like they had potential but weren't.

I noticed your comment about how I teach web page...I do include a bit of scripting - we play with php to process forms, but not too much beyond that. It's an introductory web class, so I don't want to kill anyone with code :) We do offer independent study in php/javascript to make pages more dynamic. Do you teach web page? I am always interested in bouncing ideas around.

Sylvia Hubbard said… - I come out to schools to discuss several subjects:
The joy of writing and reading - a career day favorite (free to schools)
Creative writing excercise (four day session for one hour a day) ( I usually like to pay the authors that I arrange to visit $50 a visit )
and our group sets up mini lit conferences at schools with 4 local writers of various genres. usually two hours are necessary for this one. ($300)

Have you ever found a video on youtube that you feel is SO PERFECT to show in class, but your school blocks youtube.com for students and teachers? (If you don't have this problem, I ENVY YOU!) I constantly find fantastic educational video clips th...
In my classroom, my kids like to operate at turtle-speed as I like to say. It takes them so long to transition. To help this, I pull up www.online-stopwatch.com on my Promethean Board and pick a timer. They love this, it gets them moving, and it w...

Interesting thoughts... I have just used Voice Thread with my 8 year olds. Initially it has just been used to take a dip into the unknown but they are loving it! There is always a couple who need extra help with it but generally it's be...

Maybe it’s because I have problems making decisions, but it’s hard to pick a favorite internet resource (partially because what you’re teaching can greatly impact what is the most helpful resource at the time).Since I have taught all the way from ...
Hi Everyone,
I recently had an interactive whiteboard installed in my classroom. I didn’t receive any training, so I set out to find some interactive lessons for my English classes. It has been an interesting experience to “teach” myself how to us...
