Welcome


Three years ago I saw this picture in Newsweek magazine. I was so enthralled by the picture I emailed the Dutch photographer, Reinout van den Bergh, and ask him for permission to use the photo in a workshop I was presenting. His Dutch agent, Arjen Duijts, gave his permission then and has given his permission again to use the image in our blog.

From student blog:
Look at this boy in Cameroon, Africa and think about what you see. Think about how this boy must live. Once you have considered the life this boy must lead, look at the item in his hand that he has made out of mud. What do you think it is? What does this picture say about our society. Write your blog entry after thinking for a few minutes.

I love using primary sources in the classroom. When I was designing my students' blog site header I found tons of pictures of "old" classrooms. When I was a kid (in the mid-50s) there were 35 students in my elementary classes. I've had people tell me than in their parochial elementary classes there would be 50 students! When I first started teaching in 1971, I had 36 fifth graders in my class and didn't think a thing about it. Hard to believe in…

Hi Nancy,
Wondering, when you set up your student blog site, did you have to enter individual email addresses for each and if so, how did you do that?

I read a comment from you about your co-teacher setting up some gmail accounts for your kids. Just wondered if you did anything special. Are there any special monitoring controls? I teach 7th grade English and want to use google docs in my literature circles. Trying to find the easiest way to do this.
thanks

As a new GT coordinator for the district, I'm beginning to think every parent thinks their child is gifted! I'm up to my neck in GT referrals right now. How do you get parents (and teachers) to understand the difference between high achievers and truly gifted learners?

I hear you! I have worked an entire year now without a contract-While the administration all got raises. No contract and they actually want us to take a pay cut and ass 6 1/2 hours to the in site work week so we can offer free after school childcare.

Nancy I found this site in the UK it deals with gifted kids so I thought you might want a look http://www.thedlc.org/courses_pri.shtml#amazinganimated
I found it off the fluxtime animation site where the kids make cartoons.

My reply to your response regarding my iboard post had an unintended negative tone. Sorry about that, mostly I'm just curious to see if I'm missing something about the iboards.
