There is a good interview (from PRI radio) with a teacher in Plymouth MA of how he uses cell phones in his classroom. You can check out an excerpt or link to download the podcast. Cell Phones in the Classroom

I use cell phones along with Poll Everywhere to initiate and supplement discussion as well as polling students. Unlike a previous poster, I do not think the subject is stupid. Our school has given considerable thought to how we can combine the value…

I've heard some teachers text sick students their homework. phones could be allowed at school for school purposes, like when the class has gone to differnet room and you don't know where, you text someone who's in that class.

Why do we as educators fight kids when it comes to new technologies? Kids love to use their cell phones. Shouldn't we be asking How we can use these as a teaching tool rather than fighting them. AREACODE4396508 is ready to start texting. We could te…

Teaching Overseas

I am going to be an exchange teacher next semester. Kind of like an exchange student, only I'll be teaching in Germany. I am wondering if any of you who have done this before know if US Medical insurance is honored there or if I have to purchase International health insurance? Other than that, I think I am ready for this. I'll be developing an Education software… Continue

Teaching Benefits

I have a Master Degree in Engineering Studies and am thinking about going into teaching after being laid-off last December. The pay is not much of an issue but I am concerned about the benefits. Do teachers have adequate Medical insurance for themselves and their families? Does that insurance run through the summer months when teacher is not working? Thanks.

Maybe I could sue Micr… Continue

Balance School and Play

These kids have no balance in their lives and may end up smart, but fat and out of shape. Heck, I know some kids who are in need of Heart… Continue
