Week 8- Flat as a board

Well I must say, I can remember back to the times when being called "flat as a board" was a death sentence for some girls. However, YIPPEE it's a great term now!

After reading the article Four Weeks to a Flatter You, which sounds like an awful workout routine, I began to think that I'm now "flat as a board!" It's great, each one of those recommendations is something that we've done this summer and through these assignments I've created a ton of new ideas to use within my classroom. In a way I'm kind of excited for school, but wait, don't murder me yet, I would rather add about 4 more weeks to my summer vacation before returning.

Anyway, after reading the article, I was really quite glad that I took this course. This year I plan to have my students use RSS readers, podcasts, and blogs...to start off. It's such an exciting beginning to have new tools and ideas to bring to the classroom that I know the students are going to love. This makes the kids more engaged, which leads to less down time, which leads to less misbehaving, which equals- a happy me!

Anyway, I've had about three cups of coffee by now and I guess it's time to put this energy to use elsewhere.
