I will be doing my mentor program at this STEM school. I'm really excited to be apart of what they do there, very cutting edge.

Nate what teacher are you working with there? My twins are both in Mrs. Kania's class. It is a great school!

My mentor is Matt MacPhail, he is a 6th grade teacher. It's so cool what they do there as I'm sure you know first hand.

Huckleberry Finn is now censored for school curriculum use

I listened on MPR's morning show when the Prof. who did this was on to discuss. I admit that I think it is not necessary to sanitize the language- while I understood the teacher who called in to say it would be nice to teach the book without addressing the "N" word, I think that addressing it is part of what the book has to teach. I'm curious if you caught any of that on MPR?

I think it is so dumb to censor Huckleberry Finn. The book is a great read and a good look at how some people thought in those days. Might help us understand our history. Teachers can explain the background for students. I read something about this in the NY Times. Thanks for the post Nathan. I think this is an important topic for us to be thinking about.

This books has many books available for a variety of ages. You can actually read the books online (great for smartboards) and then once you read the book, you can select a charity to donate a book. For the every book you read off the website, a book is donated to the charity of your choice.

This is a great article that talks about the need for more technology based learning in the classroom. It proves that taking this class will help us excel as educators in the future.
