Hi Mick,
Thanks for the comment. We are also pretty hard core! I should probably qualify my “flip”. I have taken a series of revising strategies (capitalization, using a comma, using a period) and made movies. […]

Wow! What a journey. Nice determination to see it all through, despite your series of setbacks. In the end it is what it is, you can’t control everything. That is one reason that I think that the way COETIL is […]

Hi,
Nice way to introduce QR codes. I teach second grade, and have started to use QR codes a lot, in a similar manner to how you have described. I use them often as a quick way for the children to be able to […]

We have a group going to Bangkok. I think many are going to catch Dana’s presentation. I’m excited to hear about it.

Hi Clint,
The first part of your post, about having lots of hardware at your fingertips but nonetheless getting cranky about it, makes me wonder about where we are heading here at TAISM. We are going 1:1 iPads […]

HI Sanne,

I think that the greatest service that integrating technology is doing is that it is preparing our students to face a life full of these technologies. showing them and letting them practice and experience how to […]

I completely agree with (and blogged very similarly about) your vision of the future of learning, namely that it holds ” inceptions of learning that we cannot even conceive of? Formal learning has been around for […]

Hi Gary,
It was great to read your post. You covered some ground. I feel a little like you do about these wide and fundamental topics that we are exploring: so much has been written, and so many write as if […]

Hi Justin,

I just finished writing a piece on the flipped classroom, and considered some of the “cons”. I teach second grade, so flipping is trickier, but not impossible. Not giving regular homework, I […]

Hi Brad,

I’m adding a “mouth breathing” column to my reflections after teaching a unit. Did you observe mouth breathing at all? I love that idea. Yeah, the problem is that the Spock in a hole approach is […]
