Maybe principals will become obsolete

I've often wondered if school will really look different sometime in my lifetime.  The author of this article seems to think many different things will become obsolete.  I sure hope she is right.

Social Media and Teachers

Does it seem common sense for a teacher NOT to blog about specific things that happen with students?  Apparently not if school districts have to spend money to train teachers about appropriate social media use.

Fallacies in Education

I had the pleasure of hearing Randy Trani speak at a conference recently.  He's outside the box, controversial, but brilliant in his assessments of how we educate children.  And, he's getting results.  Looking forward to reading his book, Fallacies in Education.

Luving English

I've seen this coming for a while.  I've noticed it in the way that kids, when forced to use email, will compose their messages.  Now it seems to be taking over written work as well.

My favorite line in the article is when the young man just claims that his entire generation is just lazy.  Hilarious.

It's been a while . . .

Through the challenges of our school year - I haven't done much blogging! It's time to start again. Especially since so much is going on in the public school world. Never has the material been richer. Looking forward to getting back at it.
