    After hearing Dr. Tapia’s discussion on providing quality education in science and mathematics for ALL students, reflect how you are going to use some of the information you learned today in your teaching practices.

    Discuss the challenges you face each day, and how you deal with these challenges.  Share any ‘success’ stories, or post questions that you may have that this group may be able to provide some support.

    Blogging in TeacherTECH

    June 1st, 2006 by · No Comments · Uncategorized

    Welcome to TeachTECH.  Blogs are currently ‘hot’ topics.  No doubt, each of the students that you teach maintain at least one, and participate in many.  One of the many exciting aspects of teaching is sharing ideas, successes and having the ability to collaborate.

    This blog is an attempt to provide an opportunity to do just that.  Detailed instruction will be given later in the course so you can create and develo a blog of your own to use in the classroom, or with other colleagues.

    ‘Assignments’ for TeacherTECH are posted.  Please submit your reply before the next class period.  Please include your first name so all will know who is submitting the comments.
