Teaching Technique-LEGACY

Teaching Technique - Legacy

BY DEFINITION: Something handed down from an ancestor or a predecessor or from the past

How do you want your students to remember you?

If you overheard one of your students saying “she is the best teacher I ever had”, How… Continue

TEACHING TECHNIQUES- Student Survey Sheet

TEACHING TECHNIQUE-Student Survey Sheet

I took an assignment teaching HTML and Web Site design at a local technical college. The classes were going well but something inspired me to try this concept.

I created a questionnaire. The questions were judiciously created. I had questions on the list in which I was not really interested, such as; what is your… Continue

Ask and it shall be given (ForTeachers)

I was teaching Chemistry in school system to be unnamed (The name has been excluded to protect the innocent). The lab equipment was so outdated, I hated to use it. I was frustrated one day I left and just took a walk (on my lunch hour). The school was located in an Industrial District. I found there was a building in walking distance that had a sign on the front that said… Continue

How to be happy at work ( for teachers)

see the video clip.

and

Consider this.

Who do you work for?

How would a typical teacher answer this question?

Maybe, they she would answer "John Doe Middle School"

or may be he would answer " the board of education" knowing that he could be transferred

I personally had this idea.

TEACHING TECHNIQUES- Puppets

I am a former teacher in the Memphis City school system. I have an experience I would like

to share. You decide if you can use the concepts.

cool hand puppets on sale and I bought them. I got this great Idea.

At my community center job I used an overturned… Continue

This has placed in tens of schools.

In each of these schools I have seen the concepy LIFE LONG LEARNER

heavily promoted. ( I feel this is GREAT)

To many times I have queried teachers about the outdated Windows software

they were using. I have been disappioted at the responses I have gotten.

Many have responded " I am going to retire in three years I don't intend to learn

future of education

the educational landscape remains where it is unless governments invest well on it in the same manner as ythey invest in the military; educators commit themselves to innovating and working for the best that would help the youth to become life long learners and unless stakeholders especially the parents and the community help the schools by becoming involved in their child's total development

In the Future, the Cost of Education Will Be Zero

July 24th, 2009 | by Josh Catone

The average cost of yearly tuition at a private, four-year college in the US this year was $25,143, and for public schools, students could expect to pay $6,585 on average for the 2008-09 school year, according to the College Board.

Some schools are not ready to accept technology!

My current high school has asked me to stop using the computer lab and only work in the traditional classroom. I am not going to stop using technology. Starting September 1st, my students and I will only be connecting from home. I may be able to get a few computer classes to get the students started but that's all. I guess I am lucky that I am very experienced so I can manage such a program, but some schools are just not ready to accept technology.

Learning Through New Technologies at High School

New Zealand High Schools are placing time and money into development of learning management systems. What experiences do others have of using this technology? Our experience so far has been that the potential is huge, but the uptake can be very slow. Very good technical support is needed and continuous opportunities for staff to learn have to be provided.
