Kelly Christopherson's Blog – April 2007 Archive (8)

I was running through my Google Reader this morning when I came across this post from Scott McLeod. Actually, it's more like a question for reflection than a post.

Given the realities of our modern age and the demands of our children's future, is it really okay to allow teachers to choose whether or not they incorporate modern technologies into their

instruction?

Of course, there are posts…

My last post What will we do with these LD teachers? has brought a few comments that have me thinking, again, about technology use. When I first wrote my piece, I was really saying it tongue-in-cheek in a response to something I read on a discussion forum

at Ning that read:

I would argue that time is NOT the issue. We all have the same…

It was a long week. As my last post indicated, I was hoping it was Friday at about Wednesday. Friday finally did arrive. It's now Saturday. Yesterday evening I read through

some blogs and some forum comments over at Classroom2.0

which I've joined and am enjoying meeting new people. As I read through

the posts and forums, a strange thing happen. Maybe it was my frame…

Warning, what you are about to read is nothing but my own ramblings about being an administrator.

I want to write. I feel I need to get some of this out but I’m not sure even how to begin and when I look at the suffering in other places I know it is insignificant. Yet, even with that knowledge, I feel

really lousy because of my mistake.

My mistake involved me dialing a wrong number and leaving a message for

On my blog I have a regular piece that I write which tries to introduce different people to others in the blog world. I have been doing this for about 2 months and just finished my 9th person. I thought I'd continue this here, putting my entry here so that people could access that blog. As we try to find people to communicate and share ideas, I found that it was very difficult to do that at the start and I didn't have too many people visiting my blog. However, I began to visit and comment on… Continue

I'm going to do this two different ways. First, the blog. A group of us are in the process of beginning a book club that will look at discussing different books and our reactions, insights, understandings, questions and general ideas about the book. We have started with A Whole New Mind by Daniel Pink. We are at the beginning stage so if… Continue

John Pederson tagged me with this “what are your secrets to a successful life” meme. Now, I’d like to dedicate this meme to my

grandmother. I’m home visiting my family and my grandmother, who is 92,

is just a wonderful person. The day that she found out we were coming

home to visit, she went up town and made sure she had Easter gifts for

all 7 of my children. She makes sure to buy each of them a treat for

the drive home and just loves to have them visit. (Me, on…

I thought I'd try this out to see how this works. I usually use my other blog but thought I'd join the network to see who's here and what people are doing.



As an administrator in rural Saskatchewan, Canada, I am interested in using technology to expand the opportunities for the students in my school. I am always looking for ideas that we can adapt to our school. I like to find information for the teachers and librarian to help them in their… Continue
