Hi Becky

I did the switch to Camtasia studio about 8 months ago and it is great. After telling my class why I would never write on the white-board again, I struggled through recording my first video in front […]

Hi Becky

Off the top of my head, I cannot thing of other MS/HS Science Coetail bloggers. Sorry cannot help.

Hi Patti

You are right – it is easy to say change, but harder to say how. I guess if people want different things, provide different things. The profit margin for the publishers is much higher for digital […]

But isn’t the journey more important than the destination? The question with no “correct” answer is the best sort of question. It is precisely the creating of metrics, and the backing up of opinions with […]

Hi Dan

Very thought provoking blog post, and a great attempt to pull it all together in your image. At one point you say “Unfortunately, I must admit that I have not been able to flip all my units”. My […]

Hi Megan

I keep hearing over and over that managing a 1 to 1 clasroom is just about managing a class of kids – basic teaching 101 really. I teach HS Biology in a 1 to 1 School, and it is the same. If you can […]

Hi Josee

Initially, I agreed with you re elementary teachers are more optimistic and maybe using technology better than their counterparts in the MSHS. I had all sorts of reasons in my head such as we are more […]

Hi Josee

I love what you outline here, and that you are involved in the planning stages of your kids units. At my school (this academic year), I am yet to have a face to face meeting with our ESL support yet, […]

Hi Ben

This sounds so great. I cannot really use it myself, as an IB Diploma Biology teacher, but have passd it on to our elementary school teachers, as a cool idea for their classes, and hope someone at my […]

Hi Ben

As a father of a 2-year old son, I read your post with great interest and almost totally agree. Advertising is invasive and I dont like it. My son and I have 5 minutes or so of Youtube time each night, […]

Hi Linc

I agree with all that you say. So much of this is just teaching 101, so it still amazes me that in my 1 to 1 school, we still have teachers saying the tablets make teaching harder – if you cannot […]

Hi Patti So much of educational trends are about fashion, and pendulum swings, but I dot thing technology in the post-school years is not going to go away, so we have to do our best to prepare our kids for this. Does technology stop our kids being able to have a conversation, or is it [...]

I so agree with what you say I teach older kids, but managing kids is managing kids. laptops are just a tool, and I found some of the material available re how to teach with laptops just plain insulting to teachers who know their trade. Yep, it is a steep leaning curve – one which [...]

Hi Lauren It really excites me to hear the little ones (to me anyway, as I teach G09-12 kids) so open to their future education. I too find my kids are really interested in my continuing education, and it certainly serves as a model for them. What do they say “walk the walk and talk [...]

As bizarre as it seems, serious. It has worked a treat, kids (not caught) love it and it helps gel the class. I got a student to wear them today, so I could take a photo, which I will now add to this blog post.

Hi Jeff & Kim

Unfortunately I could not be at the on-line meet-up last week, and have started to listen to the audio track. Is there any way I can download it, to listen to it on the go (running, cycling etc), rather than being locked to my computer?

Regards,

Wayne
