You tube for teachers! Here you will find videos posted by teachers to aid in their instruction. Some stuff is really good, others not so much, but as with anything on the net you have to spend some time browsing. Great resource if you are not inclined to do your own video!

See real middle school teachers incorporating the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics standards into their lessons, while learning as much about teaching as their students do about math.

This man is unarguably the greatest math teacher in the history of math teachers. Or at least the greatest at pulling off large-scale video projector pranks that leave you laughing, stunned, and a little bit awed.  If only our math professors were this interesting.

Is "friending" students inappropriate?

In my opinion, I think that it is inappropriate for teachers to "friend" their students. Inappropriate seems a little harsh to say but I do think that its better safe than sorry. Maybe once the student has moved on to high school and college it is okay to accept a friend request from them but even still whatever you post on the internet, you do it at your own risk.

I agree with Ashley, only I still think that even in high school I feel that teachers and students should not interact with one another unless it is school related. It seems that more often today teachers are getting fired or in major trouble by having some sort of relationships with there students. I know it doesnt just happen because they might be friends with them on facebook or something like that, but like Ashley said, "its better safe than sorry" and just stay away from temptations.

This is an interesting article about school reforms that took place in the D.C. area but similar situations are happening across the country. It is good to know that people are standing up to injustices towards teachers. Many teacher have been laid off in the name of budget cuts... but is that justifiable? There still must be good reason for "ousting" a teacher. "Reform doesn't mean changing things just because you feel like it," said the PTA president. Reform should be considered to better the education process with students and teachers as the main constituents.

this website tells stories of teachers all over the states that have gotten in trouble with the schools they teach at by saying things on facebook that they thought were private to their friends. These stories make you think and realize that facebook is more than just a social place to find friends and keep in contact with them. We must be careful with what we say on the internet these days. You never know who is reading what you post.
