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?"

Open Mic - 03/19/08

Well, I hope everybody weathered the storms! I myself was actually in downtown for the whole thing (sort-of stuck, but also not wanting to drive) and saw the twister from my friend's back porch. I was worried! It missed his house though so all ended up well. Nevertheless, I feel out of the loop at this point since I was not able to make it to class on Saturday. :-/ I have read many of the comments though and am piecing together information from the lesson, so that is good! I have also read many blogs for this week and I like how they are all over the map! One thing though, I must reiterate as many of you already have, is how blessed and lucky we all are to be surrounded by the teaching power and skill sets that our class possesses. I have great admiration for ALL of you because of your knowledge, skills and unique background and life experiences. I love the amount of critical thinking (as well as the fun) that goes on in our class! Like someone else had mentioned, these blogs are just amazingly insightful, interesting and meaningful. I truly enjoy our class!! That is, when I don't have to drive through black, tornado producing clouds to get there!! Just as an additional note, I think I have a slight 'tornado phobia' due to a certain 'run-in' that I had with one in Tennessee. Bad juju man, bad juju. So now, I heed to the warnings (maybe a little too tightly) and I don't wanna be in another one while in my car!! Mercy. Have a great week everyone!
