Pinterest!
Sometimes it’s the little things that count the most! When I worked with a colleague earlier this week to find resources for her design classes, I was reminded of what an excellent resource Pinterest is for finding teaching resources. Although we found some good stuff at HGTV.com and Hulu.com, perhaps our greatest find was on Pinterest, where we found an assortment of resources, including a…

What Is a Library? Information Literacy
What Is a Library? Information Literacy
In her TEDx Talk “What to Expect from Libraries in the 21st Century,” Pam Sandlian Smith details the wonders of the library in today’s fast-paced, information-inundated society. Today, more than ever, libraries help people navigate through a sea of data smog.Data smog was a term created to describe our current situation: a tremendous amount of information coming in at ever-greater speeds,…

Invitation to Inquiry - Open: Guided Inquiry Design Process
Invitation to Inquiry – Open: Guided Inquiry Design Process
You can have the greatest lesson on the planet; if your students do not buy into it, everything is for naught. Our number one job as teachers is to inspire students. Once a student is inspired to learn, there is nothing we can do to stop them from learning. This may seem like a fantasy to some teachers who have the opposite problem: getting students to want to learn in the fist place.

Guided Inquiry: Transforming Schools
Guided Inquiry: Transforming Schools
We have now realized a time in education when change is not only necessary, it is inevitable. As our students of the Information age enter and graduate from secondary schools, the outdated teacher/student dichotomy just doesn’t cut it anymore. Our students have access to knowledge we could only dream about at their age, and it is right at their fingertips. As a result, our teaching methods have…

Turnitin and the Anti-Plagiarism Debate
Today I’m going to be sharing my thoughts on Turnitin and the Anti-Plagiarism debate, which was recently featured on nprEd.
You can find the original article here.

Modified Block Schedule #WhatWorks
Modified Block Schedule #WhatWorks
This fall, my high school will be adopting a modified block schedule, with every Tuesday and Thursday having 86 minute periods. I’m very excited about the change, because I think it will allow for some interesting class activities.
This summer I taught summer school, and we had 3 hour classes, so I have an idea of what longer class periods might be like.
For an English teacher, this presents an…

What If…there were no grades #Musings
What If…there were no grades #Musings
What if? What if there were no grades? I know this is not a new concept. I ask for a few reasons. One, I just finished teaching a summer school class with six students. I know – a teacher’s dream. When I turned in my grades, all ‘As,’ my head teacher looked at me like I had two heads. “All ‘As?’ she asked. “Of course,” I replied, “I only had six students.” Second, my wife and I are…

Embrace the Opportunity to Teach… #Musings
Sometimes things just don’t go your way. Sometimes things pop up that you just aren’t prepared for. If you are like me, and I would expect, most teachers, you spend weeks and months planning your days; so when something unexpected happens that gets in the way of those plans, it can be frustrating, to say the least.

Stop, Collaborate, and Listen! Ensure Curriculum Mastery #Musings
Yes, that’s right – I did just quote a Vanilla Ice song to start an actual academic discussion! The Ice-Man had a point. In order to collaborate, you have to stop and listen. This is very true in our classrooms of all kinds. Although we have a curriculum to get through, it is pointless to go on to a new topic if we have not first mastered the previous topic.
This is easier said than done. As…
