- About Me:
- I teach in a magnet gifted program. This year I will work with 4th and 5th graders. Since my first computer, in a business I owned, in 1983, and my first Apple in 1986, I have been interested in technology in both educational and personal worlds. I feel lucky to be in the middle of the tech revolution, am amazed at web 2.0 and the openness and networking of teachers and leaders. I am a tech peer coach at my school and my students produced the first podcasts in the district two years ago - we've since delved into electronic portfolios, class blogs, and collaborative adventures. I am currently developing a blog and web site for my teaching staff to hope to get them as enthused as I am. Besides the use of technology, I enjoy teaching math and art especially. Out of school, I love to create visual journals, mixed media pieces, watercolor (a long way to go there..) and drawing and sketching. Love reading, like most teachers, traveling (Paris is my favorite city) and am a die-hard Cub fan (we'll be great in o-o-eight).

Slowly getting sucked back in....
It does seem when August rolls around, the long fingers of the district office, the school, the calendar start asking - actually, some are demanding - a place on my vacation calendar. Vacation - that oh-so-longed-for thing of beauty that comes and goes in a breath. We had a long long year up here in the Seattle area with six or some snow days (not much snow there, just bad weather and windstorm power failures) to make up, bringing our school year to late June. Ouch. Now, my calendar begins to fi… Continue

It is a pleasure to meet you. I am most impressed with the things you are doing and I look forward to reading more of your blog. We must have our students share some work. I will email you shortly with more of my thoughts and ideas. This will an exciting, meaningful experience for our kids.
Thank you!
One of the things I love is attaching primary sources to the curriculum so the Titanic study will focus on the database of passengers and crew and answering so big questions.
We are going to read a novel along with this study. We wanted to read a classic, Treasure Island, but neither of us can slog our way through it so we may go with Peter Pan, Airborn by Kenneth Oppel, or Peter and the Star Catchers. We will do an online book discussion.
I teach the 4th graders alone (each grade comes once a week for the day). I'm thinking about using an old video series called Voyage of the Mimi (Ben Affleck is in it at age 10) to study the Maya Indians of Mexico. We may to do wiki (they haven't done one yet) to gather our information. Lends itself to great photos, etc even though it's not"new" material. I'm toying with reading a book called Valley of Secrets--haven't read it yet but a perfect fit with the rainforest study.
So that is what we have planned so far. There is a webquest on my website (bottom right) that we did last year called "So You're Gifted, Now What?" It was fun and the kids enjoyed it. You can see it at http://adifferentplace.org
Keep in touch and maybe we can find something to do together--a book study would be easy to set up as a starter. Later, N.
Do you have self contained classes? Bet that's fun.
Please consider to joinc my group DigiSkills as well. The biggest group on Classroom 2.0 about digital teaching methods.
