About Ms. Jasztal. Friday, April 25, 2014. Ms Jasztal Shares- Fraction, Decimal, and Percent Anchor Charts. Last night, I was perusing Pinterest when I came across the fraction, decimal, and percent anchor chart I sketched in January 2010 and posted on Scholastic.com. The post where it was featured, titled " A New Year and Decade: A Stronger Teacher. Received a number of newer comments I never read because I always thought people could not comment after my duration as Teacher Advisor for grades 3-5.

Blended and Online Learning. Sunday, December 14, 2014. If It’s Not Meaningful, It’s Just…Work. It’s been awhile since I’ve posted to my blog. After several months of reassessment, goal setting and general adjustment, I’m glad to get back to professional reflection and sharing. Is there anybody that doesn’t? What about our students? My daughter has her own. To which she publishes. A weekly video to more than 2000 subscribers. She communicates. To create quality content for her followers. What’s the...

Blended and Online Learning. Saturday, April 4, 2015. What's Wrong With This Picture? Keyword: Teacher Type: Any. This seems to be the general consensus of what a teacher looks like. All 10 images show a teacher at the front of a classroom. I know that there are a few chalkboards out there but I have not been in a classroom with a chalkboard in at least 20 years. Keyword: Teacher Type: Clip Art. About 60% of these images again depict a teacher's place is at the head of the classroom. Searches with the ke...

Blended and Online Learning. Saturday, February 7, 2015. TCEA 2015 Take Aways. Although TCEA 2015 is packed up, it will take awhile to process all of the information I acquired this week. My PLN has certainly grown and I added some fantastic new educators to my Twitter feed. I saw some great new tools and ideas and a fair amount of stuff that has been around awhile but in the end, these are the things that made an impression. Evernote for oral test administration. Since professional development planning ...

Blended and Online Learning. Tuesday, April 26, 2016. Elementary Adventures with Macbooks and iBooks Author. Teachers sometime see a cool tool and think" wow that looks fun. Let's do a project." Its my job to help them focus on the "Why" first. What is the learning that you as a teacher want to reinforce? After identifying the learning objective, we can then look at other variables such as time allotment, engagement, relevancy and ease of use to pick the best tool. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Blended and Online Learning. Saturday, May 2, 2015. Choosing a Platform for Your Online Course. Edmodo and Google Classroom organize posts in real time with the most recent post on top. This is great for courses that operate in real time aka synchronous. What I needed was a platform that works well for on-demand or asynchronous. To be honest, I felt a little stupid when this dawned on me. Why this epiphany hadn't happened before, I don't know. For an asynchronous course, I think any of these website crea...

Blended and Online Learning. Monday, March 31, 2014. My Space or Yours? When I was a little girl, my friends and I liked to play school. This usually involved lining up some tables and chairs in rows and handing out lined paper or old workbooks. Whoever was bossiest in the group usually got the coveted role of teacher and dispensed knowledge and work to those in the group designated as students. What has really changed? Learning space would students design for themselves given the choice? Redesigning lea...
