  • It is difficult for me to talk about my teaching philosophy without talking about my personal theology. Not that I bring my faith explicitly into the classroom. Just that I think my faith informs who I am and how I behave. If you are reading this essay for "tips on how to be an award-winning teacher," please be clear: I am not saying that a prerequisite is being a person of faith. But in these "reflections along the way," faith is part of what makes Marty tick as a teacher.  I believe we are all loved children of God. I believe that there are no privileges or handicaps that come with birth into one family or one gender or one race or one sexual orientation. I believe the Golden Rule -- do unto others as you would have them do unto you -- is a useful guide for behavior. I believe that we are all striving to become the people our Creator created us to be.

      This is a little gem I found in my Google search. Ten years old now but it is no less true today. Another one that would be useful to let other teachers see for the purposes of support and encouragement.

      This person seems to be working with younger students. The writer also seems to be a Christian. The downside is that there aren't regular posts. But, I really like the personal stories found in blogs.

    I attended part of the NAPCE conference held in San Jose, CA last weekend. My husband presented a paper. This project to document Christian educators of the 20th century was mentioned. I thought this would be a useful site for reflection and personal encouragement in teaching.

  • Second Life's potential for people with disabilities. "For me, the 'Aha!' moment was when I stumbled upon a [virtual] quadriplegics' meeting," she says. She found people there who were severely disabled in real life but able to walk or even fly in Second Life.

      this article talks about working on your online identity almost from an advertizing viewpoint (your personal brand). You want to be able to find yourself in a Google search with losts of positive qualities.

      by using blogs, creating a professional website, using networking sites and web-based communities to appear the way you want to look on a Google Search. Does this really show authenticity? Or are you becoming a salesman of your "good qualities"? It sounds more like slick advertising to me.
  • The effort to market yourself in an integrated, differentiating way demonstrates that you are a savvy marketer. By expanding your online presence, connecting it with your real-world visibility, you put yourself directly on the path to true career distinction.

      I must admit that I have been in this game so long that I no longer long for the har copies of student papers although I must admit I often print out dissertation proposals and mark them up by hand. Tradeoffs abound. I am confident that I would not have had the opportunity to work with most of the people in this course if we had not chosen to do this course online. ON the other hand, what fun and satisfaction would be found sitting around the seminar table on a cool fall Saturday morning with our coffee and scones, discussing the text and drawing our ideas up on the whiteboard.

I hope your colleagues take the time to read this. I especially like the way you took your SL experience and translated it to the way your students may feel or think in particular and difficult situations, a very nice connection! Scot

      I found this article with just a search for "reflections on teaching" at google. It caught my eye because of the first line about a "self-centered outlook." This was similar to the Harris article. But, this line brought up a new dimension.
  • If the students bring themselves to the classroom, then they're ready to learn.

      As I read further, I see that this author has much passion and opinion but not enough experience to see the problematic end that some of suggestions will inevitably find. Imagine if 7-12 grade students only went to school because they wanted to. I am certain that all of us have to be made to do things that are good for us or good for the community around us because our natural inclination will lead us into harm.
