Two week voting cycle

First off let me tip my hat to all the wonderful moderators on #edchat. You donate tireless hours to the PLN, and you should be commended. I wanted to start a discussion on the voting format. I wonder if a two week voting cycle would serve the PLN better. So a vote on this Monday would be for a discussion the following Tuesday. I feel this approach has several advantages.I feel a change in the voting would add depth the conversation. We are all a passionate group of educators who believe in the…See More

Greg McVerry commented on Michael J's blog post Using #edchat in the classroom
"Michael, I like your idea. I was only thinking about how people could study teachers who particpate #edhchat and how that affects practice. I never even thought about using #edchat as a tool to discuss all different types of action research…"

"Here are some brief ideas for methods. You could choose almost any methodology.: Develop your research questions. I would suggest some type of pedagogical goal you want to see in the classroom. Next choose a learning theory that aligns with this…"

"This is a wonderful idea. I would agree with Michael though and too often action research is used as a term for poorly designed classroom research. I would also urge you to develop the questions first, choosing methods that could answer the…"

Wrapping up another year

I teach sixth grade, so I will be saying goodbye to my students in about a week. I'll see them in the hallways, but it won't be the same. They'll never be in my classroom again. That's weird to think about right now, when all I do is see them.It has me wondering; did I serve them as best I could? Did I impart all the wisdom I could into their little brains? Did I ignite a spark, or reaffirm a defeatist attitude?I have to be honest, there are some kids I won't miss. You know the kids I'm talking…See More

Teresa Conley replied to Teresa Conley's discussion Getting the same technology for students in specialized classrooms as the gen. ed. classrooms in the group Special Education
"You are correct which makes this a even more sad situation. It can easily be said that the students with disabilities who are included in the general education classrooms do receive the same level of technology as their non-disabled peers. However,…"
