Interview with a Learner

In my continued efforts to connect you with great teachers and learners I'm going to ask you to do an interview with someone on this list. What I'd like you to do is do a 5-10 minute interview with each either by email or Skype. I'd like us to generate a list of questions here on this post (add in the comments) that you can ask. I'm thinking 3-5 questions would be plenty. When you're… Continue

Tammy, I understand where you are coming from because I definitely see some iffy use of cell phones from younger children. Especially when it comes to texting. I don't know if I would completely not give my child a cell phone because the…

I find the discussions surrounding cell phones really interesting. After I listened to Liz Kolb's presentation I realized there is a whole lot more to cell phones than I could have imagined. The question in my mind though is "what is a…

I've had a fair bit of SmartBoard exposure, but I agree with Rebecca. Though the idea is that students are to use the board to have a more hands-on learning experience, teachers often fall back on the good old standard, and that is standing at…

Honestly, I can say my cell phone is prolly my biggest way of communicating with other people and therefore is my social life. I dont go anywhere without it and feel lost if I forget it. My mom just recently got a cell phone with the full key pad…

Wow, that is definitely interesting! I did not even know that was out there! It is good to know as teachers because a lot of students do not even realize what plagiarism is. Especially if teachers do not teach students how to properly write a paper.…

Nice. I didn't know there was such a thing out there! But I guess by now I shouldn't be surprised about anything anymore, and pretty soon everything will be on the internet!

I am not really surprised that so many teens feel as if their cell phones as the key to their social life. I go home back to my small town and see little kids that are in grade three and four who have cell phones and to start off with was shocked…

Nice post, I knew you could by essays online, but they were all essays that had plagiarism. So it is a good thing to keep in mind for the future. I am sure every teacher will have a student that tries using a site like this. It is a good thing to be…

Finishing up your end of semester papers.........here's some help!

As I was finishing up some papers, and reflections I browsing through my gmail and ad that claimed it could help me with me papers came up! Philosophy Writers claim that they could "help" me to create a paper on any topic I want. AND that the papers will be 100% original - all for the approximate cost of $29.99 USD with a 14 day delivery promise. The website had a…See More

That's an interesting article... thanks for sharing! It's not so surprising to me seeing that that many teens are caring around mobile phones, but I find it interesting with what these surveyed teens were most concerned with having on…

Cell phones and Teenagers

While I realize there has been a lot of talk about the use of cellphones in the classroom throughout this course, I recently came upon this statistics site about teenagers and their cellphones and I really felt that I should share it with you guys.  I found the responses to this entertaining, as it made me question whether or not we have turned into "old people".…See More

hunch.com is a cool search engine that gives customized searches made for you after you fill out a quick survey. The more you use it, the more it gets to know you, and the smarter it gets.

I kind of disagree with you a bit, Rebecca. I think IWB's are more for student involvement than anything. The use of Smartboards remind me a lot of how teachers in elementary school would ask one student to get up in front of the class and do a…

I, too was reminded of Alvin Law when watching this video. Its amazing how much people can accomplish despite what may seem like a major disability. Absolutely inspiring.

I honestly have never used a smartboard before. We didn't have them in my classrooms in winnipeg, and I haven't had the opportunity to get accustomed to one. I think they have good intentions for their technological purpose, but I…
