Welcome, and thanks for paying my site a visit!
I look forward to sharing both links and insights with each of you for these next several weeks.
Thank you, in advance, for what you add to my learning experience and, ultimately, that of my middle school students!

Eva,
ReplyDeleteI also teach middle school. All my Elementary Teacher Friends think I am insane for being at the Middle School. I enjoy the students and enjoy the subject matter I teach (Basic Computer Literacy and Keyboarding). I teach in Arizona. Where do you teach?

Hello Eva,
ReplyDeleteI really like your 21st century learning diagram. Your blog is very well put together. I look forward to reading more about your ideas on how to integrate technology into the classroom.

ReplyDeleteI have gotten the same reaction from both elementary and high school teachers, yet love this age! I teach in Connecticut, grade six, currently, and find that these guys are an age that can still be relatively easily engaged and motivated. They come to me just at the point where they will still take some of those risks that really enhance learning and allow us to be a true, non-threatening, safe community in the classroom. Since we spend lots of time studying what makes civilizations thrive, it is great to be able to act as one!
Computer literacy must be fun to teach! I used to train adults, many just rejoining the workforce, how to access title insurance documents via an old DOS run mainframe. That, somehow, was enough for me to but books like "Excel for Dummies," and go for it with students.
I am grateful for what you do!
