Roadblocks | Te(a)ch

https://daniteachtech.wordpress.com/2010/10/12/roadblocks

My Journey Through Grad School. For this class. The whole thing centers around the most effective, useful and authentic communication tool between parents and students and teachers and my hypothesis is that Facebook will prove to be the victor. And here I was listening to a consultant from my board tell me that I could get in big trouble for what I had already sent the permission slips home for. My spirit was crushed.

Courtney Oyka's Digital Portfolio. Just another WordPress.com weblog. My Philosophy of Education. Provided me with a very new and unfamiliar topic to me. Throughout my educational experience cellphones have been viewed as a distraction, a nuisance, and it has been viewed as very disrespectful to have a cellphone in the classroom. Liz has provided me with a very new insight to cellphones and ways that they can be utilized in schools and with children. Liz shared a video. On March 10, 2012 in Uncategorized.

Keep in mind that only the "good" kids who were lucky enough to be caught being good by receiving a green card are eligible for prizes - including the opportunity to eat lunch with the administration. Here's a real story that happened just the other day:. My gr...
