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 lea…
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 Lost…
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. Sometimes…
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 voicethrea…
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 mathematical…
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 in…
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 points…
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 the…
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 thei…
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 motivati…

Hi, Alice. Like you, I find the gifts feature much too silly and Facebook-like. You can easily remove it by clicking the "remove the gifts feature" link from the Gifts icon on your Manage page. Cheers.
Would love to shed a little light on this, Bob, Alice, Sheri and Wes.
Back at the beginning of November, these new ads began popping up on nings I had created for various committees where I work. A few people including me protested that the ads wer…
