]]> Comment on Reflection: Time Out to Think by Ana http://anne.teachesme.com/2008/04/29/reflection-time-out-to-think/#comment-92018 Ana Wed, 25 Jun 2008 20:38:05 +0000 http://anne.teachesme.com/2008/04/29/reflection-time-out-to-think/#comment-92018 I work with kindergarten students and there are times when I ask my students to close their eyes and think about a book that we have just read. Sometimes I ask them to think of a question or something that they really liked about the book, or maybe something that they remembered about themselves. When I do ask them to close their eyes, I think it is like reflecting, most of the time they all have something to contribute to the class. After reading this blog, I think I will incorporate more reflecting on the student's behalf throughout the school year.

]]> Comment on An Education President for the 21st Century by Casper Poodel http://anne.teachesme.com/2008/06/17/an-education-president-for-the-21st-century/#comment-91871 Casper Poodel Mon, 23 Jun 2008 14:18:16 +0000 http://anne.teachesme.com/2008/06/17/an-education-president-for-the-21st-century/#comment-91871 Having an "education President" would be terrific, but history shows us that governors have done far more to improve educational programming and funding. As an example, Nelson Rockefeller, while NY's governor, did more for higher education than any President in our lifetime. And states like GA, LA, and FL, to name a few, provide excellent merit based programs, something the federal government still refuses to do. In fact, it is far more likely that state government will be quicker to adopt new programs or make required changes than will the federal government. Supporting education-minded Presidential candidates is fine, but the same time and energy used to support the candidacies of education minded politicians running for state offices will yield much faster results.

]]> Comment on Rationale for educational blogging by Thing 4 Why Use Blogging in Education? | keeperofbooks http://anne.teachesme.com/2007/01/17/rationale-for-educational-blogging/#comment-91030 Thing 4 Why Use Blogging in Education? | keeperofbooks Thu, 12 Jun 2008 02:14:03 +0000 http://anne.teachesme.com/2007/01/17/rationale-for-educational-blogging/#comment-91030 [...] In the process of teaching of writing, the Publishing phase receives the least of the teacher’s attention. After the Editing phase, the teacher tries to find time to grade and comment on 20-30 papers. The next phase in the writing process is the Publishing phase.  Teachers do not usually want to spend the time having students read their papers aloud or have reports presented to the class using Powerpoint.  So most of the time the papers are pinned to the bulletin board and/or sent home.  Pinning a paper to the bulletin board does not provide a great incentive to write more or to write better. But the possibility of having your writing read by thousands….now that is incentive to write often and to write well.  The case for using Blogs in education is presented extremely well by Anne Davis on her blog.
