Ten Trends that are changing in education. Preparing kids for the future - white's will not be the majority, global citizenship, building social/intellectual capital. Students NEED to be ready to live and work in a highly diverse nation and world!

I have, Who Has? Students are each given a card with an amount of money displayed. Students count the money on their card and then a kind of "around the world" is played.

Awesome site for Blogging - things to remember when teaching students how to respond. There is even a pdf file available that the teacher has created. On this paper, students are given sample blog responses and discuss whole class whether they would approve the comment.

I wish I would have seen this post yesterday. I had to reteach blogging to our book club group. Mainly, I feel the time constraint/computer issues we had the first two weeks set us back. However, I did something similar to this actually handwriting responses on the white board. The number of posts and details within the post increased dramatically.

Share documents, spreadsheets, etc to communicate with students and teachers.
