My Biggest Regret

By Thomas Hammerlund -

via Google Search I don't like to ruminate , but I do catch myself wishing I could have done things differently in the past. It was the first month into a coaching position that was new to both me and the school. I was asked for some ideas for math ... I had some, but I also had an awesome math book. I am embarrassed to admit what I did next - I went to this teacher's room, handed the book over, and said something like, "Read this. It's good." No offer to come in. No observation. This issue didn't have anything to do with tech and I was a technology coach after all. If I could do it over I would go in and observe. Then I would meet with the teacher.

The other day I may have caught the opportunity. The Junior High was having a Pancake Bake Sale fundraiser, but it was during recess time. The schedule worked out so that Grade 1 had class during this time. My students were not too pleased with this development and I got an earful coming up the stairs. We are currently looking at opinion writing, so I decided to try to make a connection to our wr...

This was a good webinar about keys to digital citizenship by the cool cat teacher herself, Vicki Davis.
