About Me:
I am a retired Coast Guard Warrant Officer (1996) and have dedicated my life since then to working with kids, I am a Special Education teacher who teaches English and co-teaches History at a small private school that serves students who have not been successful in the public school system. During this school year, I found that I was not reaching my students as well as I should and wanted to make things better for them, so I started looking into "stuff" I could do to help them more and found Web2.0 and the technology coordinator at school (I believe he is getting tired of seeing me come around :) but I am becoming a convert and what totally convinced me was the excitement I saw in an 18 year old student who said "Mr. Shaw I've never sent an Email before, this is so cool." So I believe that I am headed in the right direction after this "aha" moment. Oh yeah some of the things I like to do outside of school are run/jog (getting older, I am not as fast as I used to be), day hike, just hang out with my Wife Mary, our six cats, and a dog.

Hi Everyone

FYI - You will notice that I have a lot of videos on my profile page, I have found that I learn best visually and that many of the kids that I teach learn this way as well. Therefore, I am gathering up videos that I plan to use either in my classroom or when I am asked to present a topic at a professional development. -- Harold

Hi Harold,
Yes, I come through Sidney every once in awhile. Nice to meet you online and perhaps sometime in person. I like your posted videos - can I cross-post some in my network?

Thanks very much, Harold, well I didn't play the video to the end! So now I will and figure out who to ask.

Sandy Hook is probably 45 minutes or so away from here and has great birding, doesn't it!

Thanks for accepting my friend request and I look forward to finding more videos and other things from you,

Pamela

Harold, I am enjoying very much your videos. I'm wondering if you would allow me to show the Group Testing video before the NEA later this month? One of the issues I'm presenting on is standardization in view of personalization - and so alternate ways for testing is a great example. Thanks for your time - Pamela livingstonp@mac.com

Hi Harold,
You left a comment on my blog asking about how hard it is to set up a ning network for class. It's easy! But your kids all have to have an email address. Do they? Ours did as part of a school Gaggle network. If yours don't, you'll have to figure out how to get them email addresses and that will be the most difficult part, I'd guess.
I'm glad to help you with basic setup, any questions I can answer.
The confidentiality issue: you can choose to have your network "by invitation only." That's what we did, and only class members on on the network. I like the kids to "show their parents around" but we haven't asked and parents or anyone else to join at this point. So the confidentiality issue for you would only have to revolve around whether you're ok with all kids you've invited seeing each others' work. Mail within the network is private, between senders and receivers only.
Does that help?
Thanks for your comment!
