At The Teachers Desk Comments

Wall with the words written in black saying I wanna do something that matters
I like Mr Chamberlain blogs , he really comes up with a lot of great ideas for his classroom. I can tell that he takes his profession seriously and puts a lot of thought and time into teaching. I looked around at his posts and enjoyed reading them a lot. "How to get (and keep)More Visitors" was good it gave ideas of how to keep people reading your blog. He gave tips like don't change your address and use descriptive titles so people can find your topics to read.I also read "Using Technology for Effective Communication" in this post he talked about the different ways he communicates with parents. Mr C uses facebook and gives out his phone number.Mr C has a facebook account set up for his parents only, no students and so far it has worked great.


On "Teaching 2.0" I found Dr Strange from USA. Mr C posted a Dr Strange's video that describes what Dr Strange is teaching in our EDM class, twitter, iGoogle, blogging, etc. Mr C made a point to say that he thought that this video would make an excellent tool for in-service training for teachers at his school. Another post I liked was "Always Evolving, Always Changing" in this blog he points out what we have been talking a lot about in this class. We need to keep up with the fast pace of technology. Mr C talked about the need for teachers to learn, adapt and evolve in order to stay up to date with the changes.The last post I will comment on is "Something that Matters" it is just a very short post about graffiti he saw that he believes a student wrote on the wall. It said " I wanna do something that matters" and it got him wondering why students don't do things that they love or matter to them. He made a point that people are possibly driven by money and not by what is important to them.
