The Last Lecture

I check my tech teacher's blog http://tekkieteacher.com/ very often. It provides answers for most of my wonders, thus saves my time. If you haven't watched "The Last Lecture", I invite you to have a look at it.

Coffee Break French, Podcast Exploration

In Colleen NcNeil's resources, I was able to taste a Podcast in French, Coffee Break French. It was refreshing and easy to follow, which I believe I can introduce safely to my high school students.

Blog for after school activity

Emmet Rosenfeld 's idea on using blog for after school activities drew my attention. I am sponsor of French Club and French Honor Society as well. Most of my students are members of so many different clubs that it is not easy to find an afternoon when all of them can attend a meeting even if I announce it as mandatory. Next time, I will put the minutes on my blog and ask those who were unable to attend the meeting to post their responses.

Scott Hambrick 's blog

His link on Technology and learning was very interesting as it is directly related to my learning at GMU and my teaching at high school. Especially I share Scott Hambrick's view on incorporating database and graphics in teaching probably because I have just finished those two courses.

What does technology mean to a class teacher like me?

As a teacher, I would do anything to enhance my students learning. If by using technology in class, I can bring my students'performance at the highest level, then I shall learn and use it. It doesn't matter to me that it is about technology itself or technology as a tool in teaching.

Filtered or Unfiltered?

I have the same problem as Will Richardson explained in his blog. I found a very useful site and the following day, I wanted to share with my students. The result? All blocked. Gone all my lesson plan for that day. How can we protect our students and enjoy at the same time the technology?
