Social Websites in the Classroom

by Manda

Jan 18, 2013

Social websites are a necessity to students in high school. If a teacher uses Facebook, Twitter, etc to inform students of the class such as assignments and test/quizzes that are upcoming. Do you find social websites will be helpful to students or does it make more work for a teacher to update the profile ?

Nope. Facebook is for me to catch up with my family Our school district provides web space for every teacher to have a class website. There's no excuse, really, for teachers to be contacting students on Facebook; "social" and "professional" are two different planets.

cm A course/class website for schedules, notes, assignment outlines, etc. is fine. Don't get into the personal contact thing with any student and limit it with parents to the traditional phone method. No comments/questions/contact. Period. Otherwise, you'll be at the beck and call of people 24/7. The idea of the site is to give the students, parents, ...See More

Use of laptops in HS classes

by Katherine

Jan 20, 2013

In my home district, many technological upgrades have been granted in the high schools. One potential upgrade includes having school laptops available for the students, which are all individually assigned. While this will help students who don't have computer access at home, is there distinct advantages for providing laptops in high school classes?...See More

cm You can buy a "class set" in a portable, locked wheelie storage bin. It's a class set so they "go" to the class needing them as booked. No more booking labs, moving classes, etc.

Wikipedia

by Mark

Jan 21, 2013

I know it's somewhat of a popular question but what should a teachers policy on Wikipedia be? Personally I feel that it can be used to give a student somewhat of an idea on the subject material. Obviously it's probably not a great referencing tool (people can change the page at their own will) but at the bottom of any given Wikipedia page there are...See More

I don't get the issue with Wickipedia - does Encyclopedia Britanica have a monopoly on knowledge? Wickipedia does a very good job and the people who write the articles are most often very dedicated - they're populists - and scholars should know that word.

My policy is simple. You can use Wikipedia as a source, but you must use at least two other sources for every wikipedia source.

Oftentimes students will learn more from Wikipedia sources because they're b...See More

Behavioral Management Questions

by Sharayah

Jan 22, 2013

What do your behavioral management strategies look like?

1. What plan do you have for discipline? 2. How do you motivate students? 3. How do you involve parents and enlist their support? 4. Have you ever had a challenging student; what did you do to monitor their behavior?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
