It has come to my attention that the humans in this place have lost their minds completely. Not only do they eat things that look suspiciously like plants, but the real madness is that they don't play with it first. And then, unlike sane humans who gather in dignified circles to discuss the books they read, these humans stand around and flail their limbs while listening to a raucous din that issues from the ceiling. There is no wisdom in this room."
These cats could learn a lot from Michelle's workshop on using Blogs to disseminate their reflections! Michelle offered some great tools and loads of supporting research in her presentation, and I for one am looking forward to trying out a thing or two. Don't forget to comment on her blog and take advantage of the great resources there. Marianna proceeded to educate us in the pitfalls of executive function, especially in relation to writing. This highly informative workshop should spark all of to pay closer attention to helping our students learn and use strategies to help them be successful writers -- to keep them from succumbing to the opinion of Renee's young student: "I hate writing."
During TMT this morning, Patricia introduced us to Teaching Channel , and Renee told us a bit about how she uses Blogger as a class page for her students and their families. Some of the great resources available on Renee's blog are Spelling City and Storybird. In the afternoon, we will hear from Tisha, Julie, Mary and Alan. Can't wait! At the end of the day, we will "sing the song of our people."
