  • There's a contentious debate among techy teachers who are ready to discard handwriting / cursive and traditional teachers who see the value for reading, writing and fine motor skills that teaching handwriting provides.

      This is a surprisingly heated debate.  The only reason I cling to for learning to write in cursive is the discipline aspect of it--training your body to do what your mind wants on such a small scale.  Seeing a child struggle for hours on homework that has to be in cursive, however, quickly makes me lose my resolve in that argument.

      My cursive is horrible-probably from lack of using it. Automatically print now. Still need cursive for John Hancock's, no?

      How many of you had to do this?  I actually didn't do this until I got to high school (Catholic, of course).  My elementary schools focused almost entirely on process writing.

      Mrs. Inzano's English 3A and 4A. She loved diagramming sentences. I think I've mentally blocked the whole thing because it was so very traumatic. She was a wonderful teacher but a bit of a Nazi when it came to diagramming.(and I will not tell you what decade that was!)

    "Questions to ask before showing video Does the video meet your objective? Did my supervisor approve the video? How long is the video/video clip? Can the video foster useful outcomes within a short time period? What do you expect your students to accomplish? How will you convey the topic (lecture, discussion, hands-on activity?) What materials will you use to support your instruction? Where in the video can I engage students and/or check for understanding? Am I in violation of Copyright Law and Fair Use Guidelines?"
