Things for Teachers

A reminder to teachers on Facebook (and the Internet):

Since my students were brutally honest today.

My 6th period class is obsessed with finding out how old I am. I joke around with them but don’t tell them now because it’s been an ongoing thing. They brought it up again today.

Student 1: “Ms. D I found you on Facebook!” she immediately covered her mouth with her hands.

I have it set so people cannot search for me, so I asked how she was able to find it.

“I searched for (other teacher with whom I am friends on Facebook) and looked through his friends! I couldn’t see anything on your profile though.”

Student 2: “YEAH and I Googled you to find your birthday but I couldn’t find it.”

About

Who I am: A third year high school history teacher at an urban(ish) high school in New Jersey.

What I blog about: Stuff related to education I like, and stuff I hope can help other teachers out. Technology, deals on supplies, helpful books. My focus lately is on educational technology & related resources. Occasionally, I also post things related to education reform. Because I post articles that I feel will be of interest to teachers with varying views, the political-related posts made here do not necessarily reflect my beliefs or opinions, nor do they reflect the beliefs of my employer.

What I like learning & reading about: Other teacher's opinions about and experiences with teaching & education. How I can enrich my classroom and reach out to my students. If you write about this stuff, let me know, because I probably want to read it.

What you should submit: Anything that could help a teacher.
