The Education Wonks site on my gator has this article. It poses a good question about how teachers are being held to a much higher standard than is possibly reachable. It discusses how we might consider thinking more about the process and procedure instead of just the outcomes. Check it out and let me know […]

Sounds interesting and […]
I read this article and basically I agree with Nate that the students need to know the importance behind the activity. So many times we as educators spend a great deal of our Instruction Time teaching students a series of clicks and drags to get the software up and running and leaving a very short […]
A few people have written about ideas about a final project. Lauras project seemed really interesting, the tutorial that Frances mentioned would be more my speed and Angie stated some ideas that would work better for her classroom. I really like the idea of getting to work on a project that would benefit someone else […]
I visited the schoolhouse and left bewildered. Then after reading others blogs I revisited the site and understood a little more about the purpose.

The whole MOO, MUD and MUSH thing got me off to a rough start, I don’t think I was on any kind of websites I wanted to be on. Basically I just don’t like those “gaming” sites although one site mentioned MYST and I have played it on several levels but never really enjoyed it. […]
Wikispaces seemed to cater to groups and families rather than just ONE persons thoughts. It allows several people to edit the page. The site I was searching discussed it would be great for a sporting team to post schedule of events, a book club, and even in a classroom where the option of the students […]
I have always used power point as a learning tool in my classroom. I used it as part of a introduction to a topic, review, game, and an assessment to name a few. I work with students who have a learning or behavior disorder and using this type of media seems to work well in a […]
Cows MOO, pigs wallow in MUD, and MUSH is something you eat for breakfast at least that’s what I thought.
I surfed the web and found some pretty scary things when searching for these topics. I’m still a little confused about the purpose of these sites so I guess I need to keep searching.
Here’s an example […]
