I started one for all our SPED reading classes (we have over 40 members!)
www.bentonreads.ning.com
I also have one for my comm arts class, but we really haven't used it and won't until we have access to a MAC cart! It's www.bentonwriters.ning.com
And finally, I created one for our SPED department's collaboration. We are starting off with some book reviews and discussing each one. This website is www.bentonspedconferencing.ning.com
Take a look, especially the reading website. I think you might be surprised at what some of our kids are saying! One of my classes asked today if we could ditch the journals and do all of it on-line instead! YEAH!

Danielle,
When I did a Benton search on the main Ning webpage, I noticed your collaboration site. You will have to keep us posted as to how that works for you. It seems to me like it would be a really good idea!!

Of course, after posting this, I went to the St. Joe News Press website and see the same article was printed in the paper today....
An article I found on yahoo's front page. Some of the things mentioned are already being done at Benton (both good and bad things)...
@Kelly Lock: I think it's a huge celebration for us to see how many students were able to enter college. It's a testimony to our staff and their parents that they all had such great ambition and fortitude to get it done. Now we must figure out a w...
@Melissa Corey Yes, there is a process, but we haven't really shaken out the bugs. We need to examine the process and see how we can make it work.
@Michael Gier: Yes, I think we need to do a better job of profiling. Right now, we just need a process to get what is probably WAAAY out of control in hand. I think we are on the right track to limiting how long absent/late work is accepted. I thi...
I knew the numbers of students enrolled in college would be higher this year, and I think it will go up. I've talked to five kids in the last week who said they took this semester off and are planning on enrolling this spring or in the fall; I sup...
I like this very much, Jeanette.
Late to the party, but...
I'm glad Ronnie's taking a lead on trying to find uses for mobile phones in the math classroom. I've racked my brains repeatedly and come up with nothing. Often, I have students ask me if they can use their phone as a cal...
I know at one point toward the beginning of the year there was an idea put forth about an intervention committee meant to address issues with students who may eventually drop out, go to Learning Academy, go to MO Option, etc. I am not sure if this...
I would be happy to be involved in helping with this. I have felt strongly for a long time (ask any of the math teachers) that one of our biggest problems is that "problem" students are ruining the school experience for the remaining students. We ...
I'm in. Let's try to meet at least once before Christmas break. We can set a reading schedule, and maybe even start a discussion thread to continue over the break for anyone who can share some of their time. I will purchase the books for anyone wh...
Let me begin with the good stuff. My kids are reading, and they are reading a lot! I've set the goal of 800 pages (for an A) for 2nd quarter. I've been rather excited to see the kids serious about reaching that goal. Some of my most at risk reader...
Thank you! I am not very good at freehand drawing in Photoshop. :S
The one thing that has been the most engaging for my seniors in Com Arts has been news articles. After reading Reaicicde, I realized my kids don't know enough about what's happening in the world. We followed the balloon boy incident over several d...
I have to admit that I was so happy that Jeanette decided to have CAMP teachers put the data in the hands of the kids! I have a great data collection tool, but I haven't used it hardly at all this year like I have in previous years.
So what I hav...
Yeah, I'm wondering about breaking up the rules. I wonder how Central does it. I need to check with Dawn...I'll do that in a minute.
Melissa,
I have all four of our Cardinal logos that I would let you look at and see if they may work and look a little better than the one displayed. I will send them to you.
I really like the idea of ensuring vertical alignment, and I think that Strunk & White rules might be a great way to go. They give teachers and students a common language and reference point, one that can follow students from year to year, which i...
