David's Ele Ed blog: My "messed up" teaching philosophy (off topic)
http://davideledblog.blogspot.com/2010/11/my-messed-up-teaching-philosophy-off.html
David's Ele Ed blog. Thursday, November 4, 2010. My "messed up" teaching philosophy (off topic). Okay, so this is an off topic post. I know that my views on education are a lot different than most in our class so I thought I would just spell out what my philosophy is and if anyone wanted to talk about it with me I think it would be great. Because, any oppurtunity to see someone elses perspective is an oppurtunity to grow in my opinion. Yes, some students are left behind. In the classroom I am in now ...

L549 Patti's Blog: Readings for 11/15
http://l549patti.blogspot.com/2010/11/readings-for-1115.html
Saturday, November 13, 2010. I traveled to China as a 10-year-old and spent a day in a school while I was there. How confusing! To be honest, I'm not entirely sure what I'm supposed to be getting from this reading other than an example of what can be done with different forms of literacy. If you'd like to see the actual multiliteracies map that's being discussed, I found it at an Australian website. November 15, 2010 at 12:08 PM. This is crazy, and Im not sure how I feel about it. First of all, the r...

L549 Patti's Blog: September 2010
http://l549patti.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 26, 2010. Wow, what a practical bunch of chapters! Chapters 7-9 were just what I needed to clarify much of what I had been wondering about. Links to this post. Friday, September 24, 2010. So what to do? When you get a whole class of children who are so clearly behind in their ability to spell, what's the right course of action? And what's the best way to do that without stifling creativity? Am I back to traditional spelling tests? Links to this post. Sunday, September 19, 2010. The most...

bilblog: More Show Than Tell.
http://kikikazee.blogspot.com/2010/11/more-show-than-tell.html
Monday, November 1, 2010. More Show Than Tell. I am always amazed when a particular work is able to bring life to a character in a single paragraph, and sometimes even less. Allen’s Bringing Subjects to Life. I love garden metaphors. They are generous and expansive in interpretation and universal in application. In The Profit. Khalil Gibran speaks of friendship. “He is your field which you sow with love and reap with Thanksgiving.”. Paul Fleishman’s, Seedfolks. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

bilblog: MGRP in Action
http://kikikazee.blogspot.com/2010/10/mgrp-in-action.html
Monday, October 18, 2010. Today was the first week of the School of Education’s Science Saturday program. After this week’s readings I had a much clearer picture of multi-genre usage within a single theme. I participated in this week’s installment of Science Saturday and was able to see firsthand the effects of multi-genre usage on the learning process. Though it was scheduled for between 9:30 am and 12 PM it ran a little long. The elementary students were divided into three groups, k-2nd, 3rd-4.

David's Ele Ed blog: The Media and how it shapes our views
http://davideledblog.blogspot.com/2010/11/media-and-how-it-shapes-our-views.html
David's Ele Ed blog. Monday, November 29, 2010. The Media and how it shapes our views. The idea of this past reading was how the media has shaped how we view ourselves and our society. It is human nature to use the views of others to define our own views, at least in an early stage of development. Later on we may oppose these views, conform to or try and ignore these views. However, they always play their role. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Other Blogs to check out! Myths That Bind and Divide.

L549 Patti's Blog: Readings for 11/29
http://l549patti.blogspot.com/2010/11/readings-for-1129.html
Saturday, November 27, 2010. November 28, 2010 at 8:01 PM. I like your idea of finding something more positive to replace what we dont agree with. We cant control everything that kids are exposed to but we can express our opinions and encourage kids to think critically about not only media-related topics but also about proper ways to respond and behave.

David's Ele Ed blog. Friday, September 24, 2010. Crafting Writers part deuce. Having shown my ignorance of the different ability levels of children of different ages I am wondering how to find out. I know the standards are ridiculously low in the lower grades, and I would never teach to the standard. I would, however, like to know the average levels of different age groups. Would anyone know where to find information like this? Sunday, September 19, 2010. Teaching specific craft writing is teaching speci...

To Do the Write: MGRPs in Action
http://todothewrite.blogspot.com/2010/10/mgrps-in-action.html
To Do the Write. Monday, October 18, 2010. Perhaps I’m easy to catch, but I couldn’t help but notice the emphasis of teaching students “skills in context”. Perhaps that was by design, or it could simply be because my research for my own Multigenre Research Paper (MGRP) (which has unfortunately pushed this post to the periphery) has a focus on this point as well. Either way, it caught my attention. MGRPs, from both the book’s description and even in our short experience so far in doing one on our own.
