Summer is in full swing already with temperatures here reaching in the mid-90s. School is out for the kids, but I'm here in a class with other devoted teachers who are trying to travel into the 21st century by taking a Classrooms for the Future course. We're here June 9-12 soaking up some knowledge to prepare us for another stellar year here at the Fort.
I'm happy that I'm in with a pretty entertaining group of "kids" - Kevin Center, Ben Maxin, Mandy Gordon, Chris Hallowich, and Mike Slates. Jodi Kioalicas is our ever-patient facilitator/teacher. We as teachers do not make the best students. Just like our teenage students, we teachers talk when we're not supposed to, get easily frustrated with something doesn't work (computers!) and don't listen when we should. Jodi is SO patient. We are all creating a blog to be used for educational purposes. As it stands, if you're interested in visiting any of these amazing teachers' blogs, I'm making a list of their links:
Right now most of the teachers are fooling around on youtube to find funny video clips to include on their blogs. So that I may keep up, I'm including a link that I find so funny that I tend to laugh so hard I snort. Take a look if you dare: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzRH3iTQPrk
I can't think of much that is educationally relevant to post at this point, so this is the end of my blogging today.
