Ok, I really shouldn’t get into this one because I know I’m going to wind up on a soap box, but Dean’s post about videoblogging has forced me to comment. He’s actually responding to a post of Alan’s, so you can get all the background you might need!
My two cents on video blogging: […]

I just had to share this one. I was doing some searching around Technorati today (it was work related, I swear), and decided to browse through a few Tag searches. Of course, the first search I did was for the word “Education“.
When you do a Technorati Tag search, it gives […]

Guess what’s back? The Teach42.com Podcast!
Yes, that’s right. After months of silence, I finally have a microphone strapped to my skull once again. It’s nothing earth shattering, just an update about what’s been happening and me getting my feet wet once again. It sounds dumb, but there’s a ton that I […]

It has been weeks since I blogged, months since I last podcast. There are two reasons for this: I have no internet connection at work which is where I’m spending most of my time lately and when I’m not at work, I’m making sure that I spend at least a minimal amount of time […]

For the past few years, I would get to school early, read through my feeds on bloglines, write a response or two, download some podcasts and listen to them on the way home. This year, I’ve been back at school for three weeks and have only blogged twice. Both of those were at […]

New day, new session. This time we are discussing Sensation: Tactile-Vestibular-Proprioceptive. All three of these systems work together and an dependent on each other. Sensation is how our bodies react to stimulous, perception is what we do with that feeling. When someone gets scared, the involuntary jump is sensation, looking […]

Alright, this has little to do with education but a lot to do with technology and gadgets, so I feel justified posting it here Have you ever seen those ads saying “Click here to get yourself a free iPod“? I’m sure you’ve thought to yourself that it was a total scam and […]

I cannot tell you just how happy I am right now. After three very long years serving as a Director of Technology, I am returning to the classroom next year!
Yes, it’s true. I have a job for next year. I will be teaching kindergarten at a brand new charter school in Chicago. […]

At this point, most schools are just about completed. Teachers are busy finishing up report cards, taking down bulletin boards, sending home lost and found items and preparing to lock the door for summer vacation. The next time most teachers will be in a classroom is during inservice as they frantically get the […]

A bit thanks to everyone who participated in my survey. When all was said and done, around 60 people took the survey and I definitely got some valuable feedback from it. I’m going to be putting the results together in a database and seeing what I can learn from it. I appreciate […]

Just a quick reminder, you have a few more days to take the Teach42 survey and get an entry into the drawing for the Flickr Pro account! Sunday at midnight, I will stop accepting entries. You can still feel free to take the survey, but you won’t be eligible to win the prize. […]

Unfortunately I didn’t have time to squeeze in a podcast today. I’ll be out of town for the next few days so there won’t be a podcast this week (unless I record one in the airport and find somewhere to upload it).
Don’t forget about the survey going on though! Take the […]

Will has posted an entry that addresses a topic we’re going to hear quite a bit about for the next few years. With students doing so much publishing, on line safety is an issue that is going to be at the forefront of many people’s minds. His post specifically deals with Xanga, but […]

Well, the survey is all set to go! In celebration of my 200th post here at Teach42.com, I’m giving away a free Flickr Pro account. Personally, I love Flickr and think it’s a fabulous service.
Here’s how you can win. Below you will find a link to a brief survey […]
