Teacher Reflections 2018

Subscribe, Watch and Comment

I am banking information videos so that I will be able to release one a week along with the daily Vlog entries I plan on doing. This morning I videoed 15 new segments, including four parts of a new series focused on strategic goofing around with your students, "How to Be Cooler Than Your Students." Each installment will offer something you can do to deliberately make yourself more accessible to the students' minds and help them see you as the human being you are. I am gearing up for a busy year and I want to continue to bring quality information to you and other teachers. Keep watching and commenting, please. The more viewers make comments, subscribe to the channel and watch entire videos the more easily the channel and videos will be found in search engines by other teachers. Your participation helps others. Check out the current videos. Things That Work Enjoy the last few days of summer, and if you are already back at work, enjoy your year. ...

Long Time No Post

Well something had to give. It was the blog. I'm back, but with no promises except one. I will post good stuff here when I post. With that being said.

There are as many ways to connect students and the community as there are teachers to teach them. When done successfully the impact on students is powerful. In addition to, and through a subject's content Teachers should encourage and equip students to be their own educational advocate by being aware of and able to successfully navigate the educational landscape leading to their success.

Vlogging anxiety

I am looking forward to the next year. I am still wondering how the "vlog" will play out. It's funny how I have chosen to fixate on how often I will publish. will I be able to publish each day or should I wait and publish five entries at the end of each week? I have no idea. I could speed things up by using my phone or computer to record the daily entries, but quality will suffer. I could use a combination of phone, computer and camera over a period of time. That would offer a varied view and feel from day to day depending on what I choose to use for the day. Check out the current videos. Things That Work Two weeks. The start day for the "Vlog" is August 14. That is the first day back for content in-service hours. From that point through June 4, 2018, I will be taping something every day. I am looking forward to seeing how this will all look as it grows. Chris
