Anthony Cody, stating what should be obvious. “@DianeRavitch: Read and RT: Anthony Cody, writing from his gut: http://t.co/as4Mr5yy”

@ScottElias same with this. I should do a HS version. http://t.co/KaLOtDSz

@Bud_T just play some KA videos and give all attendees a badge.
-
Apparently, my directions to teacher aide to hang posters on cupboard doors did not explicitly state the need to once again open said doors.
-
@Bud_T wow. Pretty soon you'll be filling out college apps and planning weddings.
-
@Bud_T wow.
-
@Bud_T no way.

@paulrwood Happy, happy birthday, Paul!

@CK12FlexBooks I will contact. We're more than a bit disturbed with the inclusion of KA videos, though.

@aleximpero I'll know this week if they have made the purchase, or are still looking, and let you know. Link to Impero, please?

@aleximpero we haven't. Our MS is going to LanSchool in science and we aren't sure how that will impact student transition to HS.

I just ousted Kate S. as the mayor of The Coffee Cottage on @foursquare! http://t.co/Cl69CKQI

I am a primary school teacher in New Zealand. I teach 5 and 6 year olds. I have a passion for both inquiry learning and science. For the first 6 months of 2011 I will be released from the classroom as I have a science fellowship. This means I will be working with scientists at a local facilitity so I will be ‘emersed in the world of a scientist” and I will be travelling to other parts of our beautiful country learning about the NZ Curriculum especially science. On return to my school I will be expected to lead science. For the second half of 2011 I will be doing teacher release so this will give me a great opportunity to work with all our 200 pupils. I am enjoying reading your blog and I hope you continue to share your knowledge about science and inquiry. I think they go hand in hand. My email is dendert@owhata.school.nz
Great idea! Win-win-win scenario. High schoolers learn, create and share and the K-5 kids read and interact in positive way with older kids. Awesome.
Brilliant! Win for the K-5 kids and teachers and win for the High school kids (and teachers).
That is such a great idea! I just might use it! (I am a high school science teacher too.)
Thanks so much for this post. It really gives me a good perspective and is really pushing me to consider doing it this year.
I too, think smartphones will be an important player in the classroom. I too have been experimenting with a ton of things this past year… Twitter, polling services, etc.
However, it cracks me up to read educational suggestions from mobile computer companies. They can stop that anytime now they’d like. I think we all can figure this out ourselves just fine, don’t you?
I am in a pretty good situation for experimentation. Our school has a very open policy that allows phone use between periods and at lunch. Getting it out in class w/o permission gets it confiscated, but this allows teachers who want to try things out… to do just that.
