FINAL BLOG POST - OUR "DAILY TRIPLE" (DUE 12/1).
This week I would like you to use your imagination. You have just won the lottery and will leave your teaching post immediately to travel around the world. As you leave your keys you meet your replacement. You are asked to give this new teacher just ONE piece of advice. What would that be, and why? Enjoy your world expedition!

Blog Post - Week 7
This past week in my own teaching I felt a little disconnected which prompts my question to you, "What was the moment (or moments) when I felt most disconnected or disengaged as a teacher - the moment(s) I said to myself, I'm just going through the motions here?"

Happy Friday!

I hope all of you had a GREAT week and will enjoy the wonderful weather we are expecting. I had a very tiresome week and am looking forward to a 3 day weekend. I want to thank you all for the comments on my post concerning Online Masters Programs. I am in the beginning stages of my research and really find it hard to believe the cost of these programs. If anyone hears of a GREAT online masters program offered through a Georgia college, please let me know.

Thanks to Jessie for the valuable information and pros and cons of the program I mentioned in my last blog. I do believe that as a result of sharing our ideas and experiences via this message board that we are becoming more educated than ever and able to make better future career plans.

On another note, I want to thank Kim and Vincent for the advice on Bloom's Taxonomy questions. It was very conducive to my understanding the meaning of Higher Level questions.
Thanks and enjoy your weekend!
Never Give Up!
