Utilizing Cell Phones in the Classroom!
I believe that it is necessary to include cell phones in the everyday classroom. I am researching the idea and trying to find the "correct" solution. If we as teachers don't allow the students to utilize technology, then how are we going to utilize technology ourselves. Students bring hundreds of dollars worth of equipment to school every day and this equipment should be used daily.
I understand the Benton High School policy, but I am willing to search for an alternative pol… Continue

Getting feedback from the kids
With last year's seniors returning to visit the past few weeks and then watching this year's seniors and their misconceptions about college, I really would like to have the kids take a more active role in their education. They may show up in my classes, but they aren't ATTENDING.… Continue

The Unheard Story
Tonight I spent almost three hours at the Board of Education meeting, along with several other dedicated Cardinals, and watched as a consulting team (the levy committee is considering hiring) tried to put what we educators do in a "sales pitch" in order to sell ownership to the community in our district's long… Continue

Assessing Constructivisim
