		<title>Between The Lecture And The Discussion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I&#8217;m not against giving a lecture in class.  Sometimes the information lends itself to lecture.  I sometimes have to lecture briefly on formatting essays, for example.
I keep it short, however.  I get them back in the driver&#8217;s seat constructing knowledge.  Students are the ones that need to come up with the [...]

		<title>Kideo Player! For Teachers and Parents</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I came across the Kideo Player site recently and thought it was wonderful for teachers and parents of young children.
What is the site about? It’s simple, it makes Youtube safe for kids while being easy to use.  They stream different (safe) videos that are just for kids.  So the next time you need [...]

We&#8217;re all facing budget woes as teachers. This financial crisis looms like the sword of Damocles.  This is nothing new.  Some schools face a budget crunch every year and have been for the past five years or more.

This is a cool map/geography activity. The Traveler IQ Challenge is actually on the TravelPod website (it’s a travel blog). The activity is easy to figure out. They give you a location and you have to “pin” where it is. If you get close you earn points, and the further away you are from the [...]

I like my students.  Every year, every semsester I [...]

		<title>Success</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I&#8217;ve had students graduate and go on to successful, fulfilling careers, perhaps, in terms of position and monetary compensation, more successful than I.  
Nevertheless, their success fuels and reinforces my calling as an educator.  When I bump into a former student who&#8217;s doing well in life, his or her success only makes me [...]
