Eric,
The best motivation that I have found is humor. When I used to teach and students were getting off task or bored, I always tried to have a good laugh with them once in the morning and once in the…
Brian replied to Angela White's discussion 'Higher Education for Teachers'
I am presently a technology resource teacher, am working on my Instructional Technology masters, and teaching adult classes at night. Although I am losing my mind, I have only four classes to go--I see the caboose in sight!
Brian replied to Chester R. Cruzado's discussion 'WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS SCHOOL POLICY? Teachers will be suspended if they will use social networking sites in education.'
Obviously these are folks still back in the 1900's. Ridiculous, I say!
Brian replied to Aaron Maurer's discussion 'Presentation to School Board without PPT'
I agree! I use this when I present at workshops and conferences. My audience doesn't get tired or listless!
Brian replied to Jonathan Wylie's discussion 'MA Instructional Technology'
I am in the ITMA program at Virginia Tech and am pleased. If you're a Virginia teacher/employee, there is a reduction in tuition even.
Brian replied to Yis Pollock's discussion 'Differentiated Instruction'
I just gave a day long workshop on D.I. I don't know if you want some links, but they're on my blog under workshops at http://ppsblogs.net/brianmckee.
Brian replied to Andrew's discussion 'Paperless Testing & Grading'
We have used Quia in some classrooms, and not only is it paperless, but it gives you data and a run down on test results--great for remediation planning!

- Yeah. It's really great. I was a Chef for 7 years whilst studying and decided to teach it for a living. Not looked back since. I've been trying (where possible) to fit web2.0 into my teaching. It really excites me the many endless possibilities of technology providing you keep current and up to date. I'm really looking forward to being part of your community!

- Hi Brian - It's an amazing place and fun to imagine what it must have been like when it was in full "swing" as an active home for the Hearst family! It's well worth the day trip! Best, Doug

I noticed your comment right after I changed my photo! I bought one of the mini "kite-trains" in Beijing. I'm going to try it out with my students this month. I'm trying to scrape together plane fare to teach in China (near Qingdao) this summer, but times are tough.
