Big Changes are coming

Happy Summer!

Keep tuning in to my blog for announcements of big changes coming in September!

Spring Fever

It's getting to be that time of year, when the weather gets warmer and it becomes harder to concentrate on School work. Here in East Rochester, we've just switched to final group in our Computer Literacy class. In this class, we focus on some of the skills you will need in school and in life when using computers. In the comments field answer the following questions

1. Where do you have access to computers in your life? (Home, school, public library?)

2. What do you hope to learn more about in Computer Literacy?

Happy New Year!

Welcome back after a long holiday break. It's hard for teachers to come back too. Did you make any New Year's Resolutions? I did. I resolved to pay closer attention to the people around me. I want to help my students find the things they are good at, and to help them become better at things they have trouble learning.

Not too long ago I read a book called The Element: How Finding Your Passion Changes Everything by Ken Robinson. Sir Robinson argues that everybody is good at something. He goes on to say that the people that make decisions about education in our country need to allow and encourage students to be creative about their learning. He said the businesses and governments in the future need people who can think about things and come up with creative solutions to problems. I hope I can help my student become more creative in their learning and to learn how to learn.



What do you think are some ways I can do that?
