I Steve. I left a written comment on your Voice Thread since I don't have my microphone/headset handy.
I hope you can resurrect this voice thread. Are you teaching this fall?
Carolyn
Thanks!
That's great, hearing from other students, no matter what level is very helpful!
Thanks for your help!
I read for many reasons. I learn new things, I feel like I get to live different lives through the characters in the books, and I imagine new places. Reading helps me relax and to "run away" from life when I feel overwhelmed.
I write to help me l...
I had one student reply on the VoiceThread today. As others finish testing tomorrow, I will have them comment as well.
I read for enjoyment and for escape. I also read to learn. When I read for enjoyment and escape, it is usually Best sellers. My favorite author is Robin Cook, he write medical mysteries. But right now I am reading Dan Browns new book called the Lo...
I read because of a number of reasons. One is for enjoyment...I love to read a good murder/mystery book. Reading fiction books is like going to the movies for me. I can picture the story in my mind and block out what is going on around me. Sometim...
Steve!! Wow, I don't have much to say for help with your class at the moment, but please get in touch with me.... I have been trying to find you since k-state! Anyway, email me or something so we can exchange information... It's been too long sir!
My group of summer school 5th graders and I need your help! We want to know Why you read? Why you write? We are trying to get as many responses as we can from everyone and anyone. You can help by adding your text, audio, or video, to this voicethr...
There is a section in the World Is Flat where Thomas is visiting a classroom somewhere in India, and it is filled with a couple hundred students feverishly taking notes in the sweltering heat, while the teacher rambles on about whatever mathematic...
You said, "I don't think the value of education is declining." I have two replies to that statement, but let me first say thqt I agree with you, for the most part. What I meant when I made that statement was that the percieved value of education i...
This is a really reflective conversation. I am wondering what other folks have for a drop out rate?
We are all working very hard for our students, we all want to be sure we are doing our best, their future and our future depends on this.
Good poin...
Steven,
I think you bring up a very interesting point. What about those counties (Korea for example) where the class sizes are over 40 and students are under high pressure to memorize facts and do well on tests in order to succeed. Aren't these t...
Hello Steve, a great question for reflection: "knowing the value of education is declining, does that change the role of teachers?"
I don't think the value of education is declining. However, the role of teachers is changing! Parents still sign th...
So far I have been super-stoked to read Christensen, and all, say everything I have been thinking. So when it came to the portion (remember I am right at the beginning (so just let me kow if there is more to come)) in the Introduction about motiva...

- You must be a busy Dad. We had 3 boys under the age of 4, now they are all grown, it happens so quickly, don't wish a minute away.

Maybe we will meet there sometime! The DC one was too soon and not a good time for me... So we will both keep trying!
Janice
Thanks for the help. I didn't get accepted for the DC session. Maybe next time!

I decided not to apply this time, but next time I am going to plan to get my video done early enough to be viewed, critiqued and edited. Last time people saw some things that now I realize I should have edited, but I just didn't have time.
Janice
Thanks Janice! I have a different backstory than most teachers and felt that needed to be explained. Let's see what happens!
I think that this looks great also. I like the personal story. It seems like I know you and understand why you want to go.

Camilla, I agree with Cheryl - go see Serena Offcourse on Blackbear Island. She's great and knows all the ins and outs. She's got great style sense too! --Sarah (Syra Saeed in SL, edueyeview on twitter)
Give it a go!I am still falling down. Look for Serena Offcourse at Black Bear Island, she is my fashion consultant and very helpful.
Cheryl
I'm @edubeacon on Twitter. Your recent Seedlings podcast has me thinking of giving Second Life another go. On there I'm Millie Brink - on the brink and very much the amateur!
Thanks Alice! I appreciate the feedback. I will try adjusting the volume! Thanks again!

Ben M will be live from New Orleans at The Coalition of Essential Schools Fall Forum Conference.
WOW! I love how you used your kids in the movie. The only thing I can suggest about the sound (I think you can do this in iMovie '08) is in the sound bar at the bottom, you can adjust the volume with a little line. If you drag the line up, it will...
Hi! I'm applying to be a Google Certified Teacher. I had seen some posting on here last year where other Google Certified Teachers gave comments on applicants' videos. I would love some feedback! Here's the link to my video: http://www.youtube.com...
