How I felt when I left!
Have you ever felt inspired and overwhelmed? I found so many great resources I thought I could only share them one way...on the Internet! Please share and use these with other teachers as you like.
I. Presentations
I. No-Yawning Presentations
What Has Happened to Social Studies in the Elementary School?
I thought I was in heaven when I heard Jeff Passe from UNC-C speak. Research shows that integration in key to time and standards.
The Ball of Confusion
Barbara Hairfiedl, secretary in NCCSS, had a great presentation! This was the perfect explanation on "highly qualified" teachers. Basically for 5th grade teachers who get grandfathered into a middle level, they need to do one of two things:
A. Get H.O.U.S.S.E. trained
B. Take the nasty, dreaded PRAXIS exam
I have many handouts to share on this!
Industry, Incentives, and Entrepreneurs
This is my lesson on how to make your class become a real-working assembly line!
***The Best: Primary Sources and Technology: Voices From the Past
Go to the website and just feast your eyes off the lessons, websites, and creativity of Ms. Murray and Mr. Foxworth. Not only do they team teach, but they have 30 laptops and a SmartBoard for their students. Amazing!
