Though it is only the abstract, I found this essay that describes Ethnic Studies in education a "fire insurance" because of how fast the programs were built.

@Larryferlazzo is part of the Education Week team and I highly recommend looking into his work. One of the things that drew my eye was the statement that "Many teachers rarely experience seeing each other teach"

I adore the way that @ICTEvangelist phrases this and this same logic should be applied to life, not just tech. "Listen. Read. Make professional judgments."

On SoMe, just as in life, you’ll find a lot of people talking and saying a lot, but just because they are saying a lot, doesn’t make them an expert. Listen. Read. Make professional judgements. Tech may move on but it’s only new ways of doing old things. Ask yourself, “So what?”.
@KenzEDCU331 My 350 teacher told us to focus more on connecting with our students the first week is more important than starting material.

@teacherkobe This may sound slightly odd, but it has worked a lot in the past. Just saying their name before asking a question (i.e., favorite color or what they had for dinner) has helped me to create a bond that gives students the courage to talk with me.

While I was in in history, I watched my professor through the lens of an educator rather than as a student. One of things he does to retain our attention is to add videos, audio recordings, and photos that really demonstrate the lesson.

My name is Shaelyn Day. Though I am a little out of touch technologically, I hope that through PLN I can grow as an educator and as a person in the technological age.

@krisbrownEDUC A3: Text should contrast with the background color for visual appeal. There should be minimal white space to prevent the page from looking bland. Icons are useful as links and for drawing the eye. #educ331
@krisbrownEDUC A2: A menu and buttons that make sense for where they are. A home page should have the most important buttons and a resume page should have a CV link. To help with ease of use. #EDUC331
