Edu Tech teaching

Digital learning....I am stoked....can't wait to get started! I know some teachers are afraid of the digital learning experience, but I believe every student needs their very own computer at school. Every assignment could be completed, created and evaluated by multiple people. Collaboration and group work could be useful and beneficial to students' understanding of real-world applications of skills.

First Ted Video

Wow! I just watched this awesome video from Sir Ken Robinson. He's on youtube. He asks the best question. Why do we value creativity but we squash it in education. The video was wonderful and very funny. We roared with laughter as we watched, however we are still thinking of the big ideas he presented to us. Must watch video again and again. Link below.

Arkansas Leadership Academy

Wow! This conference is so intense. I can't even keep up with what's going on around me!! Tweet, facebook, blog, journal (in a book and online), text, email...Ugh too much! When is someone supposed to have time to do all of that? Not to mention who wants to try to keep up with all of that? It's just too much. I need organize all of this in my brain. I know I need to keep up professionally, but how am I supposed to do that? I have children to raise, classroom to teach, and a house to run! Yep! Too much.
