Teaching Themselves Is True Learning!
This quote is taken from a wonderful Blogger David Warlick and is a reflection on making sure that all learners are given an equal chance to learn by teaching themselves...
- I’d just gotten through talking about the challenge and opportunities of preparing children for a future we can not describe. And here are kids who are engaged in learning about their past. I asked, “What are your students learning in this process?” …

Improving Lessons - Next Step Lessons
I have trouble with the term improving lessons. Sounds like there is something wrong with the lesson. After I collect student work, or observations, I review the work, lookng for strenthgs, and then areas that need improvement. Across the class then I make desicisons for next step in teaching points. Will this be needed for whole class or small group or individual. The decisons are made through review and reflective questionsing. Then I develop the support or scaffolding needed to lead my stu…

Blogging was a playtime for our class this year. I too have a sense that it is important to bringing our kiddos into those 21st century skills but the tools are somewhat ancient that we can use to do blogging. And I agree with yo the time it takes to do a BLOG in the classroom what do you set aside, give up or change/adapt in your room to do it. Those are questions that run through my head all the time. I primarly used BLOGS for a reflection piece in the classroom. There are a couple of us that are using BLOGMISTER...
You can go to mine http://classblogmeister.com/blog.php?blogger_id=61490&mode=login

You go to http://classblogmeister.com/index.php to get a classroom register account. You have to email David Warlick and he will send you a register number. Also Elise Mueller got me set up and I think she has the register number also. If you are interested in setting up your own.
We will post here on the E2T2 site a daily training update.

I've been happy with it. It's average I guess. The projects I've used it for so far have turned out fine.
That's cool that you went to Broadview. It was a junior high at one point. I'm looking forward to chating with others about this grant and what everyone will be/are doing. Did you already take the classes since you live north in Bellingham or will you come to Renton? I looked at your webpage and I think it used to be linked to Roberta's page in Seattle as a good website example. I like the things you've included. I unlinked my subject areas during the summer...cause I'm too lazy to update them right now.

I believe the grant reads that all teachers must have the minumum standard equipment:
a standards-based computer with MS Office software,
projection device
document camera – grantees must buy these items first with Enhanced Peer Coaching program funds.
So as I read this the means no tablet until the document camera.
They are running about $500 for a good one.
I asked Ann if she could set up a meeting with Sean at Troxel. He is the one we buy the document cameras from. I really think that especially if you do science you need a nice zoom and then of course anything else you reall yneed full page view... not partial.
Maybe we can check them out at NECC.
Carolyn
Are you going to order a document camera? If so what model are you planning to buy? We have some $ left after tablet and projector, but not a whole lot. Wondering if we could afford a document camera or two....
