Lack of students connecting with their advisors has been a problem in the past, but we tried some new arrangements this time and thought that it might improve . . . apparently not.<br /><br />I hope that you can integrate the FCP or something global like it in your future classes.<br /><br />ZDr. Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01420546861775303616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2235948705976751334.post-81986721943079309392011-12-10T19:02:22.137-08:002011-12-10T19:02:22.137-08:00Chase,

Every...I loved the video about what teachers make. Everything is so true! My favorite part was about calling the parents at home. I'm not a current teacher, but I think we often forget about the kids who are "good." Most kids just blend in the entire day, it is important to send a note home or give the parents a call about their "just ok" student doing something special or thank them for being so consistent and dependable. <br />Your title is also really interesting to me. I am excited about evaluating success. Success to me is different than to you. That's great! You may try using a neat iPad app in your class and it will work ok; not great--doesn't mean that you failed. I can use the same app and it could work out great, but the students didn't learn as much as I planned--you might call that a success, but would I? It is all so relative, and the important thing is to be consistent and flexible, learning to adapt in our classrooms will be a great trait to learn...and a success?Cassiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00044291189717236977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2235948705976751334.post-84944358764222802212011-09-26T21:16:36.268-07:002011-09-26T21:16:36.268-07:00You have a great mentality when it comes to school...You have a great mentality when it comes to school and your future, it is truly refreshing.<br /><br />I like the perspective offered to those seeking to be millionaires in the video featuring Richard St. John. The first thing one needs to do while seeking their fortune, is to quit seeking their fortune! People earn their riches by providing a service or something of value to others, not by seeking ways to benefit themselves. In our society, I think a lot of people spend their energy trying to manipulate and control life's outcomes, instead of putting in the time and hard work. <br /><br /><br />Most students will say they are pursuing a college degree so that they can make a decent living; wise college students are less concerned with making a living, and are more concerned with making a life.Nelson Rokkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11205880556368275777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2235948705976751334.post-72871472364451799652011-09-25T20:44:29.752-07:002011-09-25T20:44:29.752-07:00Yeah, I got distracted by the site!

One can be greatly motivated by others’ respect. The two simple words not only can build people's self-recognition but also encourage emotional interaction between people. Everyone needs the feeling that he or she is needed. Unfortunately, we always ignore our naturally emotional needs for various reasons.<br />The fourth stage of needs in Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is the needs of esteem, which include self-esteem, confidence, achievement, respect of others and respect by others. “you matter” is a good interpretation of the fourth stage of growth in humans. Only when these needs are satisfied, can human beings achieve self-actualization.<br />Working as an educator, it is important that we must let students know they are noticed particularly. I think we all have the experience that when we were kids, how we struggle and strive to be noticed, by our parents, our teachers and even strangers. And noticing made great impact on how we recognize the world and ourselves later on. Children desire more personal attention from teachers. As soon as they feel like they matter, a positive change would be made. As Maiers said in the video, every single one of us must take and have the opportunity and obligation to take into our classroom, our boardroom, our community, our neighborhood. To be honest, I am a bit astonished by the magic of the simple two words.<br />And, thank you Chase, for conveying so excellent video to us.Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09865407568735093572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2235948705976751334.post-74033454012144192712011-09-23T21:49:37.706-07:002011-09-23T21:49:37.706-07:00I saw the code and it seems to be JavaScript with ...I saw the code and it seems to be JavaScript with new Functions.<br />That's great because we will be free of Third Party software.<br />We need to wait first and see how it works, then I am very sure that it will be have a Educational benefitWilson Rojas Bugueñohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18437303226585391195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2235948705976751334.post-1597922182271686042011-09-19T21:11:06.661-07:002011-09-19T21:11:06.661-07:00The idea of HTML5 would benefit quite a few people...The idea of HTML5 would benefit quite a few people, especially those of us on a Mac who are flash challenged.

The additional step at the beginning would have to be a supportive administration. There are many schools who are so rigid to their curriculum, nothing extra can be added. I have heard horror stories about how every teacher has to teach the same thing, at the same time, in the same way. I am glad my district allows me to do what I want in regards to curriculum. As long as I follow Iowa Core standards as to what should be taught, I have a lot of freedom. I started using technology, and many people thought it was fluff or not needed. Eventually, I had one person on board, and then everyone was using technology in some way.Clayton M. Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12302173002285609690noreply@blogger.com
