Rebecca Grayson replied to Terry Fonseca's discussion How have teachers been using Edmodo?"I think that Edmodo is great. Your students can not only interact with you and the content but they can also interact with one another which helps with difficult concepts. They are able to talk about a book for example. They can discuss themes,…"

Terry Fonseca 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."Why so miffed? A school policy is a school policy. Fight to change it if you don't like it, but be prepared to back up your fight. Probably the reason the policy states social networking is because Facebook and Myspace are inappropriate in the…"

Thanks for your comments! Subject:The Women’s Rights MovementOverview:During the decades that followed the beginning of the Abolition Movement, the Women of the United States began to question their own freedoms and rights. The rights these women wanted included: the right to coeducation - which meant teaching boys and girls in the same classroom, the right to college education, the right to equal pay, the right to own property after they were married and the right to vote.

Terry Fonseca replied to Madison Snyder's discussion Can cell phones be helpful in the classroom?"When my 17 year old stated that one of her teachers gave out his cell phone number to the whole class, I questioned this inappropriate action.

Terry, my name is Leon Avrech, retired middle school/jr.high. 37 yrs. as teacher, dept. chair, vice principal, principal and mentor teacher in San Jose, CA I have written a book that would be enormous help to you and those in your education classes. I am thrilled that you are excited. The name of the book is, THINK YOU CAN TEACH? A SURVIVAL GUIDE FOR NEW MIDDLE SCHOOL TEACHERS available at amazon.com, barnesandnoble.com and the publisher xlibris.com 37 yrs experience for $10. Before technology you need the to conquer the basics which are in the book. Lesson Plans, Classroom Management, Open House, Back to School Night, Yard Duty, Evaluations etc etc. I urge you and your colleagues to get my book. I have a passion to help new teachers because I have seen new teachers fail. I can be emailed at: legendleon@att.net Not sure how to get email on twitter. You and your classmates can email me if you have any questions. The book would be a huge help to you and you can avoid surprises that happen throughout the year.
