  Jen e-blogger — Authority: 91
  People manage to progress merrily through life, using seemingly archaic  tools such as ‘email’ (good grief remember when that seemed innovative?) without understanding the etiquette involved. With Web 2 tools being used in teaching and general communication, it is important for teachers to role model good ...

  Yesterday, I read a post by Sylvia Martinez, “Students are not the enemy .” It’s a great post, and the comments are very thought provoking. Essentially, Sylvia notes that students (and very often, teachers) are viewed as threats to the safety of a school and its network. There are hundreds of vendors out there ...

  Well, here it is… November. Last blog post was well over a month ago. Where am I? A little buried.  I’m trying to create lesson plans that are engaging and exciting, complete assessments (yes, report card windows loom in my future), keep up with staff meetings and professional development, meet district ...

  ::: another blank page ::: — Authority: 119
  I always thought that statistics is cooler than calculus. There are always new research especially in social science that you can check out from many many journals. Or sometimes they just publish it in the papers and Prof. or Dr. can give conclusions and comments on it (when the ones who did the real dirty jobs are ...

• Weekend? What weekend?

  
  College English — Authority: 117
  Another thing I dislike* about my wonderful, chosen, profession as a college teacher is the fact that I can rarely enjoy a day off during term time. There is always homework: marking, prep, reading. Or thinking about homework. Even when I make time to do something else, the work that needs to be done is percolating ...

• Marking

  
  College English — Authority: 117
  Just finished a small set of creative writing assignments. I hate marking. It’s my absolutely least favourite part of my job. Yet, marking creative writing is not so bad, perhaps because there I am focussed on giving positive reinforcement. It doesn’t feel like my job to say “you are doing this _wrong_,” ...

• strategy

  
  ::: another blank page ::: — Authority: 119
  In my lectures, sometimes Id like to insert some values for my students. Id give them advices about life, sometimes I´d share some of my experiences when I was studying, or maybe just give them words of wisdom. Reason being, I dont want to be just a lecturer who lectures (academically), but also a friend or maybe ...

• You(Tube), me, and the Deuteronomistic History

  
  Higgaion — Authority: 564
  If you read the title of this post just right , you can make it rhyme … but that has nothing to do with my main point. For this academic year, I set myself the goal of using classroom time for more active learning experiences—which requires me to lecture less in class. To that end, I’ve starting offloading ...

  College English — Authority: 117
  Early in the term, I asked my creative writing students to write 100 words exactly on either “lemon,” “asparagus,” or “bread.” We were working on descriptions, and I thought it would be an interesting exercise in writing something precise and focussed (one of the things many students have trouble with is ...
