About Me
I have been a teacher for most of my life having to teach others who were having a hard time understanding things. I teach 9-12 primarily but this next year will have the opportunity to work with 7th and 8th graders again. I am working on my Masters in C&I with an emphasis in technology in ed. Am married to a girl from Indiana and have two dogs and a cat.

    Great points-culturally irrelevant testing. I like your idea of inviting the "powers that be" to see innovation in action. The school I work at was asked to do a 5 minute presentation to the board about how we were using technology. What can you say at a board meeting, in five minutes? Well, a group of students and I created a "Technology Trek" video. One of my students had a great Australian accent, so he acted like the late Crocodile Hunter-looking for technology. In five minutes we SHOWED the board innovation in action. Their eyes were glued to the screen for two reasons: they had no clue what was going on at the classroom level, and they were thrilled to see students involved in the project. As a result, our board is "on board" with innovation!

    Smokey, great video!  It was a nice way to get students interested in math.  Math can be soooo boring at times, and this type of video would really help get more involved in the learning process.

    Great job Smokey!  I love the monkey and Mr. Bear.  I also really liked how you incorporated real footage from red light cameras.  The music at the end was a great addition.  Very nice!
