- About Me
- Formerly a Reading Writing Center teacher-coordinator, I now teach the AVID elective at Cypress Creek High School. To this position, I bring my experience in the Reading Writing Center where one side of the center was a classroom demonstration space where I offer content-based and sometimes technology-rich literacy lessons to teachers from across campus and the other side of the center was a literacy help center run by and for students. The AVID elective supports AVID students in all of their content classes. I am also a literacy consultant for Dr. Janet Allen's Literacy Leadership Collaborative. I have presented on literacy topics (reading, writing, data driven instruction and more) to teachers and districts nationally for the more than a decade. As a curriculum writer and project leader for Plugged-In to Reading and Plugged-In to Nonfiction, our latest reading kit, Plugged-In to Nonfiction for high school students was recently published by Recorded Books. Lastly, I enjoy writing as well and currently write for Stenhouse Publisher's Newslinks e-newlsetter .

Listening In
Posted on July 1, 2008 at 2:00pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
I'm working on a curriculum project, Plugged-In to Nonfiction with my literacy mentor, Janet Allen, this week, so I was not able to go to San Antonio for NECC. However, I have been dipping in as often as possible and I was thrilled to listen in to Chris Lehmann's session this afternoon.
School is real life. Sometimes, if we're really being honest, it doesn't seem like it. When my first… Continue

cross posted on my personal blog Pink Stone Days
Alan Levine posted a Tag Galaxy picture collage about China on his blog which motivated me to check out the new-to-me web 2.0 app. You type in a tag and Tag Galaxy creates a visual, moving, 3-D galaxy of options for you to browse. Click on a planet in the galaxy (labeled with a category) to view that group of images. I almost didn't get to… Continue
Wordle Cloud

Wordle is a online application that makes word clouds. You know me and my word art, so this is just so cool. You can type in your own words and it will arrange them or if you use delicious , you can allow wordle to make a tag cloud out of your bookmarks. For those who've never heard of delicious, it's a social bookmarking tool. You post your… Continue

Our Brainyflix video contest just ended, and I wanted to thank you for helping us get the word out. We got 800 submissions from across the country!
That said, MIT was really happy with the results and will let us run another contest, so we're going for it! But this time, we're gonna have kids create Brainypics flashcards - which are images and sentences paired up with a one of our SAT/ACT words. The contest ends May 22nd, and there'll be iTunes and a cash prize like last time. To boot, we'll double the payout if the kids can hit a certain goal. More details at brainyflix.com/main/contest_rules.
Do you mind passing my message along to students and your colleagues again?
Thanks,
Jack
With exploration of Web 2.0 tools I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's web based power point viewing platform.
