  • Be an Extraordinary Teacher

    It’s the time of year when we teachers begin preparing for the start of a new school year. I though it would be a good time to share this resource about extraordinary teachers. Reflect on this simple activity as a mini-professional development opportunity. Thanks for teaching. You make a difference. The Extraordinary Teacher ...

  • It’s Good to Be Back

    I’m excited to be working with Kannapolis City Schools again (Previous Posts: 1, 2). I’m helping provide professional development for part of their grant funded technology integration initiative called IMPACT. I’ve been asked to facilitate the following workshops: Instructional Design in the Digital Age Interactive PowerPoint ...

  • should teachers be more confusing?

    I love how Socrates always ends his dialogues unanswered.  The end seems to be a multifacted mystery rather than a three-point outline.  Similarly, throughout the gospels, Jesus tells parables that confound and confuse his audience.  It seems counterintuitive that two of the greatest teachers of all times were both difficult to ...

    I’m spending today and tomorrow with teachers in McNairy County Schools. I’m looking forward to them discovering Andrew Churches’ revised Bloom’s Taxonomy and related resources. We’ll also explore ways to effectively integrate a wide variety of digital technologies and Web 2.0 tools with teaching and learning. Watch ...

  • I know a school board member

    She lives in my neighborhood.  I saw her earlier this evening and after we chatted about vacations she asked, “how are things at work?” So I told her.  The whole truth – about our test scores, and good people jumping ship, and the principal not providing the leadership we need, and about the culture of the staff being to [...]

  • Nobody Works Harder Than Teachers! You Sure About That?

    I recently wrote the most-commented article on this site to date about the number of hours teachers work and comparing those to standard business world people. As I write this one, I’m sure it will stir up just as many responses, though many of them will surely be in disagreement with me. Just keep reading, [...]

  • Noteworthy from NECC

    I’m still trying to catch up from my recent trips to Kannapolis, EduBloggerCon and NECC. I have notes, pod/vidcasts and photos that I intend to share but more pressing matters (Family, research and writing, preparations for professional development workshops and 2nd summer semester courses) have kept my attention. Here are a few things that ...

  • Write Elected Officials about Educational Technology Funding

    We learned about this possible opportunity during the Teacher Educators (SIGTE) meeting during NECC. I’ve been intending to write a post about it, but I think my good friend, Drew, covers all the high points. The following message was originally posted on The Playground. The U.S. House of Representatives has approved legislation to fund an ...

  • Talking to small children

    I am back from a long vacation, the first part of which was spent at the beach with my husband’s family, and the second part of which was in a big city with my sister and her family.  I had the opportunity first to observe my sister-in-law talking with my one-year-old niece, and then later my [...]
