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?"

Information Literacy Chef Oliver

Question of the Week October 20 and 27

Discussion Topic for Two Weeks: We have spent two sessions related to our new blog topic, so I am sure you have some thoughts to share. We are bombarded daily with information from the media, newspapers, magazines, radio, and the World Wide Web. Is all information equal? Is it accurate, worthy of our attention? How do you decide which information to take in and which to discard? Most importantly, how will you teach your CTE students about information literacy?

I am a true believer that all information is not worthy of attention nor is it accurate. I like keeping up with trends and news that what I believe makes me a better Chef and a better teacher, whether it is the newest cooking trend or the new slang and music my kids are listening to I want to know it all. I can not be behind times in my profession you will get run over. When looking at social media in regards to cooking it is amazing the things that come up and the cool new things people do. I come up with lesson plans based on another teachers pintrest page or blog.. I want my students and those whom I work with to challenge kids daily. I feel like I am very hard on this and the kids in the end are better. There is much information to discard but you don't know that until you look at it closer. I think information literacy is an essential part of our teachings, maybe that is why I have been fighting since fall 2013 to get some technology up in my lab....

Unknown said...: I enjoy reading your blog and your drive to "keep up with the times". It is something I feel all teachers, old and new, need to aspire to do. In today's day and age, the kids are not learning nor will they ever learn the way that we did or our parents did. You have a cool career path and I enjoy learning how you teach. Our careers are so vastly different, but we all have one thing in common-our love for our field. Keep up the good work!; December 1, 2014 at 5:04:00 PM EST
