On the week of the 24th, I commented on a teacher's blog. The problem is, I can't seem to remember which teacher it was. There should be only one possible option, but somehow I can't find where I commented. So I posted two comments this week on two different posts for the same teacher. Here is my summary.
The first blog post is about how teachers' evaluations are not representative of their work. The virtual evaluation of teachers is simply satisfactory or unsatisfactory, this based on only a select number of visits by an administrator who has other things to worry about. If our teachers are not being evaluated truthfully and effectively, how can we expect that our students will be successful in school?
The second blog post is about how some students are digitally shouting, that is, they see commenting and such as a means of showing how much more their way of viewing something is superior. Unless students are taught how to collaborate effectively, they can easily being to "shout". The post also gives several handouts that are quite helpful in teaching students how to communicate with each other in a positive manner instead of shouting.
