Comments on: Time Is What You Make Of It http://avenue4learning.com/2008/12/10/time-is-what-you-make-of-it/ Ideas for Teaching Students in THEIR World...

I'm not sure where to start looking, but our Science and Math Departments are planning a research project that we would like to conduct concurrently with students in another country. We have more questions than answers, so if you know someone who could help, please direct them to susannarobertson.blogspot.com. Thank you so much!

I'm glad you found your way here and that you are finding blogging to be as useful as I find it to be! Imagine what our students could be learning about their world and about themselves through this same process. @ Josh- great minds do think alike, right? ;-) It’s nice to be on the same page with those in my PLN, but you also do a lot to challenge some of my preconceived notions… and that’s a good thing, too!

I found your blog through a comment on Steve Dembo's site and now have a new favorite to add to my list! Thank you for sharing!

Writing a blog is a fantastic way of sharing ideas and resources and leads to great personal development. I am learning new things every day and this can only enrich my teaching. "Everything in moderation" is a simple notion and I definitely think that blogging is a worthy activity. Hi Michelle

I’ve just come across your article on making time and I agree wholeheartedly with your comments. Writing a blog is a fantastic way of sharing ideas and resources and leads to great personal development. I am learning new things every day and this can only enrich my teaching.

“Everything in moderation” is a simple notion and I definitely think that blogging is a worthy activity.

Thanks for your Blog which I discovered by chance among the Edublog Supporters.You are someone on my wavelength. I agree with you about "time". I'm sure the majority of teachers at my school think I've got loads of time on my hands because I blog and am on Facebook. I also get the impression that they think that to Blog is a bit vain. I am fortunately slowly getting across the idea that blogging is relatively simple and an amazing communication tool. I am thoroughly enjoying my blogging experiences. I feel energised by them and thank people such as you who have the courage to share your thoughts and help us reflect on our teaching and learning. Cheers, Yvonne. www.tlpsart.edublogs.org Hello Michelle,

Last night, I was making a comment on my blog with my grad class. And as I was navigating there, I saw this post in my Google Reader. I didn't read your post until this morning...but it's the exact thing I told them. The "time" excuse is beginning to become a crutch and increasingly not legitimate. Do teachers have time? Nope. Because they are too busy recreating the same project they've done the last 15 years. You are right on when you talked about how using technology can severely decrease the amount of time you have to spend on it later. We talk all the time about wanting our kids to be life long learners, but are we? Great job. We should present together on a topic similar to this...oh wait, that's January :) You know, I’m getting a little scared at how much we think alike.
