Well.....another week is almost over. Almost time to go back to work.......and begin another school year! Where to start this week............
Well.....I had a thought while watching the "cheese" video. I think it would be a great thing to show during our inservice. Do you think some people would take a hint!!!! Hahaha
I really enjoyed the homework this week. The videos were really good and they made me reflect on my own teaching style, path in life, and where I am today. So.........my next goal for this class is not to come in last place again while we play our game. Haha.........We will prevail this week!!
Other than that I don't really have any major thoughts about class, or the book this week :(
Maybe I'm just tired.......but that's all I have tonight.

ReplyDeleteI think it is a great idea to show the "Cheese" video at inservice. It is a nice way to give teachers that subtle nudge without just coming out to say, "Come on, guys! Get with the program!" :) Check out the blog post link that I put in my blog post this week....it is a nice write-up that talks about the need for teachers to learn the technologies and apply them in their classrooms. It not longer is something nice to do but a must! I've read the analogy before that teachers embracing technology is as essential as doctors keeping up with the latest and greatest in their field. A doctor wouldn't just stop learning new things and ways of doing things...they HAVE to be life-long learners just as teachers have to be. Sorry...got off on a tangent there but I do really like the idea of showing the video at the start of the year during inservice. I'm sure all teachers can relate to one of the characters and hopefully it will inspire them to make some change, even if it is a small change.
I also agree that the videos were nice. They definitely gave me some insight into how I do things and what I want out of life.
ReplyDeleteThe four characters represented more than just teachers to me and I opened it up to the larger picture of what all of us do in life to achieve our goals, personal success and happiness.
Lot's going on in my noggin as a result of the videos and the readings.
