Back to Education

 

Last week was a busy one and I didn't spend much time blogging. So to kick-start this week, let's just list some of the topics/discussions of the week as it relates to education. (Note: I'm not including behavioral challenges, and there were a lot this past week.)

• What does someone write in and educational blog?

• What is the benefit of College Course vs. AP Courses? What are the drawbacks of doing a College Course instead of AP Courses?

• How can we use computers to watch television? How can we capture what we see on TV? and use in the classroom?

• Do teachers know the answers to the Essential Questions, which they have developed for their courses? If not, how do we go about discussing this?

• How do we deal with students whose parents are ready to drop them from school because they can't get them to come to school? 

• Discussing the use of handheld devices in the classroom.

• What does student engagement look like in a high school classroom?

This photo was taken after the family helped me move into my new office at Shawnee Heights H.S. in July 2009. I'm also posting this blog entry from the flickr site to show it can be done.

Week 4 - Flickr

Was very quiet last week. It was a busy one and just didn't have time to post to the blog. Last week (Week 3) we were to write about Webinars. I've done a number of Webinars over the years related to technology, educational training and even people trying to sell me something.

This is about photos on the web. I know there are a number of websites but I've had a Flickr account for a long time. But I really haven't done much with it. So here it is http://www.flickr.com/photos/abeam22. I only have a couple of pictures but will do a better job soon.
