Thing #2

Web 2.0 tools are the best invention since the computer and the www! What a revolutionary new approach to learning, creating, and collaborating! This is just what we parents want our children to be using in MISD classrooms. Sometimes I wonder why we cling to the old traditional way of teaching when we could have so much more fun using technology. The idea of the campus-wide blog with parents being able to access the entries intrigues me. What a good example of a learning community! The last idea about parents, community members, and students actually giving suggestions and input on the campus improvement plan is "over the top" excellence. This gives all stakeholders buy-in on the most important thing that schools do everyday - improve! I could discuss this all day long; but I'll let this little girl say it all for me:

  3. What's so funny about that video to me is the way the dad is practicing his active listening. Makes you wonder if that's what men are doing even when they can understand the words that we're saying!
