I love those moments when I feel like a I’m sitting back and watching the kids do amazing things. Not that I’m not busy or not helping, but watching kids figure out how to show their learning (and for them to be […]

Google is only using the clues I give it when it’s trying to figure me out. And most of the time I appreciate the ease of it. But it would be nice to turn off the filter every once in a while.

And those are […]

I honestly think teaching my kids how to search is one of the most important skills I can teach them. There are some fantastic resources around this topic worth exploring.

And my grade 6s love GeoGuessr…it’s […]

I don’t friend students, though I do friend former students. And my Facebook is the one social network where I don’t talk about teaching/learning/work. But I’m still always aware that someone can find me (teachers […]

You certainly strike me as the sort of teacher who would be genuinely interested in what your students can teach you about life in Korea – and about many things. Someone once said to me, “You can’t pretend to be genuine!”

Being a traveler and being a teacher are pretty similar…you can plan things but without flexibility and humor you’re going to be in trouble.

Thanks for the post and for the resources.

I feel the same way about blog posts…images are important but hyperlinks are imperative. I have heard that hyperlinks are what makes the internet and that seems right. I also think reading articles with […]

Fantastic resources! I’ve bookedmarked them all. Thanks.

Fantastic conversation about patronage. Lots and lots to think about. And you’re right…artist will always be creating. Thanks for kickstarting (no pun intended) the conversation.

Hey Charlene,
Great working with you on this project. Can’t wait to meet you in person. I’m sure this will happen. The world’s getting smaller and the demographics of people in COETAIL online are so mobile that […]

Hi Milford

I don’t mind at all – however I think you would need to credit the original sources as well – not just my blog.
Best of luck.

Martha, the entire notion of an “online reputation” is relatively new, isn’t it? I only started to think about it because of our COETAIL work and discussions. So there must be plenty of people young and old who […]

Reversing Roles Rattles–it throws kids off for a second.
Your tenacity of lingering and inquiring, drawing more information out of your kids opened up a whole new reality. Kudos Paul. Kids are full of ideas, […]

That’s a very good point Jo – in fact I think I’ll edit my post to include that. We do try to make the skills in the scope and sequence quite broad, but there’s a very slight chance the technology is going to […]
