Hi Wendy,
Thanks for your thoughts! I definitely hear what you’re saying in this comment. Coincidentally, math is an area where handwriting continues to impact scores. In the IB’s Middle Years Programme, the Math […]

Hi Sanne,
Thanks for you comment!I read your blog post about handwriting and totally agree with the idea that technology shouldn’t necessarily replace handwriting, nor should we fight for handwriting over […] -

Thanks, Tara! I would be interested in some recommended reading on Gen Xers vs. Gen Yers (if you know of any). As a Gen Xer, I definitely see myself on the innovation and creativity side of the spectrum. This […]

Great observations, Stacie!
My husband and I are fairly capable of troubleshooting many tech issues. What’s more, we kind of enjoy it…until it begins consuming the better part of a day! However, that said, […]

So, I was recently inspired. This inspiration led to the realization that maybe I haven’t been very inspired lately. I blame this recent inspiration on @klbeasley and @intrepidteacher (and, of course, the […] -

Christina Botbyl commented on the post, COETAIL Brainstorm: Putting it into practice…, on the site Behind the Closed Door 4 months, 4 weeks ago
Great ideas, Tara! The flipped faculty meeting is a fantastic idea, but your topics are even more intriguing (it’s the Curriculum Coordinator in me). I would love to talk to you more about measuring “soft” skills. […]

These look like great ideas, Emily! I must admit feeling slightly envious as I don’t quite have ideas that are this clear (yet). Blogging can be such a powerful tool for developing student writing. Upgrading a […]
