EGHS Tech Tips and Tricks: MOOCs
http://eghstechtips.blogspot.com/2012/11/moocs.html
EGHS Tech Tips and Tricks. Sunday, November 25, 2012. No, this isn't some new racial epithet, nor is it the plaintive mewling of a speech-impaired cow. Rather, a MOOC. Is a Massive Open Online Course. I recently read an interesting article. My point here is not to get into a discussion about whether or not higher education is doomed (though that is an intriguing discussion, perhaps saved for another time.) Rather, I'd like to say that I've participated in a MOOC firsthand, and it was pretty cool. This pa...

EGHS Tech Tips and Tricks. Thursday, May 29, 2014. For Those Who Are Leaving (.And the Ones Left Behind). To Those Who Are Leaving:. As each school year draws to a close, teachers, students, and parents inevitably begin to reflect on all that has transpired and what the future may bring. I personally find this time bittersweet; some students whom I've known for 3 or 4 years (or longer! That said, I don't think I could summarize all the advice I have for outgoing seniors. And to be honest, the most im...

EGHS Tech Tips and Tricks. Monday, July 29, 2013. I recently completed another Coursera course entitled " Archaeology's Dirty Little Secrets. Featuring Sue Alcock and a bevy of her graduate students, production crew, other archaeologists, and many other helpers. It was a wonderful experience because it really showed the potential of MOOCs. From what insufficient past must we create a more sufficient future? As George Santayana has written:. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

EGHS Tech Tips and Tricks. Friday, February 14, 2014. A Valentine's Day Message to my Students. To my students - I love you. To the loud ones: I love the way you inject humor and feeling into a class. I love the way you aren't afraid to say what's on your mind (though I do sometimes rue when and how you say it.). To the "smart" and "dumb" ones: I hate those labels, but I love when you overcome them. If you think you know it all, you haven't tried hard enough. If you think you know nothing, you ar...To th...

EGHS Tech Tips and Tricks: March 2013
http://eghstechtips.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
EGHS Tech Tips and Tricks. Sunday, March 10, 2013. It has been a while since I last posted, but it has been a hectic month and a half! I've decided to show some tools I've run across that pertain especially well to the foreign language classroom. Some are more suited for a modern language (emphasis on aural/oral communication), but all can be used even in classical languages (and other subjects, for that matter.) I will organize these by skills. I have written about this website before. This is a very ea...

EGHS Tech Tips and Tricks: October 2013
http://eghstechtips.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
EGHS Tech Tips and Tricks. Wednesday, October 30, 2013. Thinking about Thinking, or "Why Memorization is not the Boogeyman". I have been going to a lot of conferences recently. I even wrote about. Those experiences on another blog to which I contribute, CANEns. Discussion surrounding the ideas of SAMR. As just a fraction of the tip of the iceberg.) We want our students to be great thinkers. How did they do it? What about the SAMR? Did these great thinkers create and produce in their equivalent to school?
