Along Those Lines

One of the reasons I chose this class is to become more savvy than the average teacher at a local high school. Within the first few days of starting EDU 255, I got two blogs up and working for the classes I teach. (See sidebar)

If you have been to the classes' blogs, much of what you can see cannot be viewed on the school campus. Links, slideshows, photo albums are all blocked. One of the frustrating things about working at the high school is the cumbersome manner in which things need to get done. Perhaps it's my personality; perhaps it's my business background. But I can get rather testy and impatient waiting for approval to demonstrate slideshows of my students' work.

Feedback, as Tom Hopkins said, is the breakfast of champions. And if the students must wait days to (proudly) show off their work, then they lose a lot of their enthusiasm. Disappointment can set in. Motivation can wane.

Anyhow, that's my rant for the day.

Peace.
