2¢ Worth » It Was Good Enough for Me - 4 views

  • We are not working under these conditions because of our zip code or because of some unavoidably cyclical function of our reality. These constraints do not happen like weather patterns that we simply have to hunker down and wait out. They happen because of decisions that people make due to greed, misinformation, politico-social agendas, or ignorance.
  • “What was good enough for me is good enough for ‘your’ children.”
  • What interests me are products that help students learn to learn by empowering them to gaze upon the world they are learning about and to interact with the world, not by giving them better access to the classroom and instructor.

In this post I have included a list of 10 literacy/writing tools or outcomes that, in my opinion, teachers should currently be aware of. Many of them are basic yet still powerful tools in the classroom that support children’s writing. They are in no particular order.

    "...10 alternative tools that either offer a different perspective on digital writing or are a little known tool, that may have huge potential in the classroom.
