- About Me
- Mrs. Mitchell has been teaching for eleven years. She has taught in Colorado, Texas and Virginia. She has a Master's degree from Texas A&M - Commerce. Her undergraduate degree is from University of Texas @ Dallas; there she received her teacher training and received a Bachelors degree for a double major in Literary and Historical Studies. She has an Associates degree in Film and Theater. She is a graduate of Arts Magnet High School for the Performing and Visual Arts in Dallas.
She loves teaching both English and United States History. She teaches with an interdisciplinary approach. She focuses on preparing her students for the twenty-first century by using a team approach to many things she does. She differentiates for the needs of her students, so each child can achieve to his/her highest potential.
In addition to teaching with a team approach, Mrs. Mitchell puts a strong emphasis on using technology. She wants her students to be grounded in a thorough understanding of the subjects she teaches, and how they play a role in their future. She wants her students to leave her class understanding that their learning in her four walls extend out into the community.
This year, she is running her classroom with an emphasis on integrated art projects. There will be written projects, tests and normal classwork, but opportunities will be provided for students to use their creative abilities to demonstrate their learning, as well. her students will also explore what areas of learning they are best at and which areas they could develop.
She believes that students can achieve more than they believe they can, and she pushes them to constantly challenge themselves. She scaffolds their learning so they move from being dependent learners to independent learners.

I'm sending out messages to everyone I know right now, and this classroom20 network is no exception. (I've also sent this out on other Ning networks you may be a part of.) My name is Marco Morales; I am a 20 year old college student from Olin College of Engineering. I am a part of a group of 6 Olin College students (we're in Needham,MA, and engineering students) who has taken a year off to work on an education related project. I found you when I searched for middle schools on classroom20, and since our project is specific to middle schools, I thought you might be interested! Our project is called AlightLearning, and this is our "short" project description:
Under the assumption that within ten years, the landscape of modern education will have fully integrated what we now define as new classroom media: video, online collaboration, open source curriculum and other web tools, we hope to pioneer a web software tool that acts as a platform for this new media, bringing the power of the web and its tools to students, teachers and parents in a secure, comfortable and innovative environment. Our goal is to have our free software at a pilot middle school by April 15th, 2008, continuing to develop and coordinate with our users to create a product that other schools want to pilot and use at their schools, while allowing individual teachers to implement this tool in their own classroom.
Our project, titled Alight Learning, is currently trying to win an idea competition on Ideablob.com You can find us at http://ideablob.com/3975. We would love your support in the form of a vote within the next couple days, but more importantly we'd love your feedback and comments. Our description on Ideablob is short, and even the one above hardly gets many of the issues we would like to take a stab at solving, but at least it's a start.
Feel free to email me back, check out alightlearning.com, anything you like!
Thanks,
Marco Morales
