Something’s gotta give…
[It's been way too long since I've posted. The answer as to why is included in the following.] Perhaps it’s just the upcoming holiday craziness and the need for a break in general, but I feel like everything is getter the better of me right now. I can not make a dent on the pile [...]Stephanie’s challenge
Stephanie Sandifer issued a challenge to edubloggers, especially (perhaps) those of us who are feeling a bit overwhelmed by the latest burst of bleeding-edge tech. I think it’s time we — the edublogosphere/edutwitter community — take some “downtime” to reflect on what we are doing, why we are doing it, and what outcomes we think may [...]“A Vision of Students Today”
Another thought-provoking video from Michael Wesch, assistant professor of cultural anthropology at Kansas State University and creator of “The Machine is Us/ing Us”. Not only does this include an example of Google Docs in use, but more importantly, it is a view of students through their own (honest) eyes. The focus is on undergrads at [...]Gee, if only I could attend some Professional Development…
In my district, the powers-that-be have recently changed the system of staff development. Up until last year, teachers were required to participate in 40 hours of professional development during the school year. This was outside of the contract day, and we could not include those activities where we were reimbursed by the district. [...]Well, whaddya know?
Tonight, as I was getting Zachary, 6, to bed, I asked him again about his first day of Kindergarten. Because he is repeating, he is being given “special jobs” by his current teacher. The conversation went something like… Dad: Just remember, Zachary, even though you are helping and you know a lot of things, [...]Cory Peppler's Page

My name’s David and I’m a history teacher in Queensland, Australia. I use a lot of podcasting and online tools with my classes and am always looking for new ideas.
I host a group on diigo (it’s similar to delicious and very popular with teachers) for history teachers to share links, ideas and resources. It’s at http://groups.diigo.com/groups/history-teachers.
Please come along and join and share any sources or resources you use with the rest of us. See you there.

I teach AP English Language too..Do you want to have our students do some cross blog stuff? Check us out at nstearns.edublogs.org. We also have a text annotation thing at aptexts.edublogs.org that lets you comment on pieces paragraph by paragraph.
Interested?
Nice to "meet" a fellow Milwaukeean!!...I'm curious to talk to you more about some of the creative ways that you are using these tools with your English students.
Cheers and thanks for the note!

Thanks for the note. Sorry I dropped off the face of the earth, school hit! :)
I am interested in coming up with creative ways to expand what we are doing to enrich the students' education.
Let's keep in touch.
Thanks for the invitation, great to hear from you. Yes I was at NECC this year and will be next year as well, too bad you could not make it but hopefully I will see you in San Antonio. I will look you up on twitter and add you to my following, isn't it great how all of these things connect us? Will send an email as a way to catch up.
The form that a coaching program takes depends on the district and the building. I'm not sure how the coaching program is set up in Wisconsin, but here in the Seattle area, we have several different models. I work in a private school where my whole job is coaching. One school district here (Edmonds) has committed to having a coach at every grade level in every building. Other districts here are doing a coach or two per building. Many programs budget for release time for the coaches and collaborating teachers to work together, some have teachers who are part-time coaches and their schedules are adjusted to give them the time they need.
I've been a coach for 6 years and I've been instructing coaches for the last 4 both here in Western Washington and in Korea and India through the Microsoft Innovative Teacher Program. (Not a plug for MS!) Coaching is the best professional development you can do, especially for people who are new to technology in education. People tend to be more willing to take a leap and try something new if they've got someone there "hand-holding."
If you want to know more, please let me know!
