I'm Back in Google!
Celebrate!!
I have no idea what happened, but a few months ago Google stopped indexing most of the pages in my web. Upon further Googling I found this can happen for a number of reasons, none I even understood, much less did (I think). Today I did a search on something, there I was! Back! Now I have some serious updating to do!!
yiiipppee!

A Modest Curriculum Proposal | Edutopia
A Modest Curriculum Proposal Edutopia
Like always Edutopia is right on! This example of teaching students to play basketball with a textbook is perfect. In so many of our classrooms the books are ruining teaching, the passion the stories. Instead we have a race to get through the book, but is that real learning?

Today is my SL Birthday!
This is a copy of a post I made on the four eyed technologist blog, thought you would enjoy it!
Hello all!
I am giddy, especially about my new house on EduIslandII! What a wonderful opportunity to meet Ryan in real life, Existential Paine comes to life! Today is my birthday, I am one month old today, and no new wrinkles! I absolutely feel I have learned more in the past month than I have with my professional reading in years. Like most people I wondered in after hearing about SL, and wondered around orientation island like a fool. I chatted with a man in Italy and thought I was virtually visiting match dot com. I logged off and left.
Kathy Schrock dragged me back on April 17th and her teleport to the island saved me! Wondering around ISTE, meeting the wonderful helpful people, I started to get it. I jumped in with the help of my boys, and we are all learning together. They are over on the teen grid, having a great time!
For me the collaboration has been wonderful! I have met so many people willing to help! Existential Paine and Kathy really saved me! Think about how we could save so many other teachers from the isolated boxes we call classrooms. We can bring people in and talk professionally. My goal for my house is focus on k-8 curriculum connections. High school folks seem to “get SL” k-8 might need more concrete examples of what is possible. Just an observation, I am still a baby, one month old (today)and who am I to become the expert!
I better go make a Google Alert for my aviator, a birthday gift to me!
Come check SL out! My in-world name is Meg Writer!
