I Taught My Teen Well!

My 14-year-old daughter noticed that I was using my real picture on this group and said let me know that she didn't think it was a smart thing for me to do, considering what I've been telling her. That's why I have a new image made with Photoshop filters. It's nice to know that my kids listen to me once in a while.... for seconds at a time.

Of course, there are pics of her on Facebook taken by her friends and anyone can copy and save them! I've made sure that she's enabled…

Students can say anthing they want!

I received an e-mail from one of my lists - Safekids. In it was a blurb about a case in which a court ordered that a middle-school student who was put on probation for criticizing a principal on Myspace in an "expletive-laden entry " has the right of free-speech. Earlier, a judge had declared the remarks obscene. The court of appeals found that her remarks were protected as political speech "under both the state and federal constitutions because they dealt with school policy" and said that…

Learning to Use Technology in the Classroom

I would like to formally study educational technology through a Canadian on-line course however not too many of these exist. The great irony is that I e-mailed the director of one program and haven't heard back after a month. On-line, hu?

As for games for the class, what do you want to do? Do you want to build a game or have students play? There is software for game creation (I'd have to dig it up) that is basic. Let me know what you're doing. ADHD is a wonderful gift - I don't see it as a problem - especially now that I have learned to focus it better.

It's good to have your voice added to ours! I enjoyed your discussion of forum organization under "can somebody explain this"--especially since this is my first experience of a social forum. I have no ruler to measure against, and don't know what other options people are used to!
Looking forward to continuing our discussion.
pax,
Sue

Yeah, yeah, I know I teach computer use but ..um, I was multi-tasking and my kids were yelling "Mommmeeee" in the background (esp. the 22 year old) and well, it's a computer. Yup, blame the computer :) .
