  There is a dearth on the focus of preparing teachers for Middle School education. A difficult and challenging age, but one where a good teacher and caring adult can make all the difference.

  The challenges of teaching Middle School - so much of the "teaching" falls outside of classroom bounds.

I’m recycling a couple of videos that I have posted in the past, mostly because I believe that they’re worth watching again.  These videos – the original higher ed version of “A Vision of Students Today” by Mike Wesch, the spin-off , called “A Vision of K-12 Students Today”, and “The Networked Student”, created by Wendy Drexler‘s high school students  – bring to mind many thoughts that I find both challenging and encouraging.  Hopefully you will, too.

  A lengthy British document discussing why and how to improve student's writing. Yet, thankfully the execuitive summary on pages 10-13 are nice and short! I thought the conclusions on page 12 provided some good food for thought!

  I think that this article provides a wealth of information pertaining to not only why writing skills are important, but what changes schools should implement to make sure that teachers are using best teaching practices. For starters, it shouldn't be assumed that all teachers write well themselves!

  Blogging is a fantastic tool for students who are creating a record of a project, particularly the Personal Project. Easy to share with supervisors, teachers and friends, easy to record ideas on the go - and best of all, no paper!

I don't think blogging is part of their social lives, but academically they like it. I've used it several times for projects, to share ideas, to recommend websites and they really know how to use it and take advantage of it.
