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?"

Alumni Blog

I'd like to vote for an Alumni Blog. I think it would be a good way for us to stay in touch with each other. It would be nice to keep up with each other and see how life is going for each of us. Some of us will stay with teaching, others will move on to other endeavors. But it would be nice to stay in touch to find out what happens and why we made the choices we did. Might help us to make better informed decisions about what we want to do when we grow up. Ha! Ha!

I like this idea as well. However, I'm flexible as soon are not liking the technology as much. I do think it would be good to stay on this blog too and help encourage the new teachers who will be in our shoes.

I LIKE THE IDEA OF STAYING ON THE BLOG. NOT JUST TO STAY ON THE BLOG BUT ALSO TO HELP AND ENCOURAGE THE NEW TEACHERS.NO ONE WAS THERE FOR US , SO LET US STAND OUT AND BE THERE FOR THEM. THIS WILL ALSO TAKE THE PRESSURE OFF OUR PROFESSORS. CAN YOU REMEMBER DURING THE SUMMER, EVERY QUESTION THAT WE HAVE WE WOULD E-MAIL EITHER JESSIE OR DR. BURNS
