All alone!

It seems like I am the only welding instructor in Classroom 2.0. Is there anyone out there? I guess maybe I should try to go to Shop Class 2.0.

The Conundrum of Student Farts

So what is to be done when a student farts in class?



Hey, don't laugh, this is a serious academic issue.



The way I see it, there are a coupla options.



1) Try to pretend it didn't happen. Of course, if it's stinky one, the boys sitting in and around the -- let's pretend I teach in a church -- the boys sitting in and around the "pew" are gonna keep disrupting whatever progress you want to make in your lesson with commentary and insights… Continue

Remembrance Day "Two Wolves"

Last year I wrote a post for Remembrance Day and shared it on my blog.

I thought I'd share it here too.

Two Wolves



An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life.



“A fight is going on inside me,” he said to the boy. “It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves.



One is evil – he is anger, envy, sorrow,… Continue

The "However" category of 21rst century skills

There's a part of me that feels as if the discussion I raised the other day about how using technology in way that simply adds up to "digitalizing worksheets" devolved to a place where I feel I wasn't quite paying heed to the idea that I really do recognize the potential -- if not obvious -- merits of technology. I have seen Smartboards, airliners, wikis, webquests, nings and the such used in a manner that absolutely legitimizes the credibility of the argument for 21rst century… Continue

Technology and Relationships as a Teacher

I embrace technology. It is one of the best friends we have in education today. However, the benefits of technology will not begin to reach their greatest potential until we get to know the personalities of every student and build trusting relationships with them. There is no substitute for RELATIONSHIPS. The financial cost is low; the emotional cost is high but being successful, as a teacher demands it!

Skeptical of drinking the 21rst Century Digital Future Kool-Aid

There was something exceptionally cool going on in Indianapolis this week during the NMSA annual conference where I just presented. Yet, it was also exceptionally troubling.



In the back of the exhibit hall somebody had set up a “Classroom of the 21rst Century”. Essentially, what they had done was bring in a class of real middle school students from a local Indy school and had them spend the day in an exhibit hall area that had been fashioned into a “21rst century… Continue

Are You a 21st Century Learner?

Every day I walk down the hallway to my office and see a black and white poster that reads,



“The illiterate of the 21st century

will not be those who cannot read

and write, but those who cannot

learn, unlearn, and relearn."

Alvin Toffler



To me, this statement gets to the core of what needs to change in education today. We cannot teach if we ourselves are not 21st century learners. Teacher’s first need to learn with today’s technology. They need to… Continue
