My Landscape of Learning

After two weeks of volunteer teaching in Cusco, Peru I hiked up Machu Picchu. This was my view. This is my inspiration for the landscape of learning.

My Comment to a Controversial Blog Post

I read a blog post this morning that really got me thinking. I read about an educator who used to feel hopeless in the field of education. He became very negative and cynical regarding our education system today. Toward the end of the blog post I was refreshed to read that he persevered and re-instilled hope and faith, both in himself and the field of education. However, there was once particular section of the blog post that I found to be very controversial, and I realized that many educators share the author's same frustration. I decided to put a positive spin on the issue to help remind educators that we need to continue to be resilient by motivating and inspiring our colleagues, future teachers, and our students to be the best that they can possibly be, especially when times are tough!

Assessment is still a problem for most public education systems in the United States. There is way too much pressure for students to perform well on state standardized tests, especially when these tests are not an accurate reflection of student potential, nor success. The excerpt below is from the Innovative Educator and I could not agree more with Lisa Nielsen on this subject matter. The "drill, kill, bubble fill" culture that is being rewarded today does no

How it Works When you are editing your Google Presentation, simply click " File ", then select, " Publish to the web ". Then simply go down to the option that reads, " Automatically advance presentation to the next slide " and select preferred amount of time between slides. In addition, you can even get your presentation's " Document link ", " Embed code " and you can even change the " Presentation size ". Finally, you can also choose to "start your slideshow as soon as the presentation loads", and to "restart after the last slide". These settings are particularly helpful if you plan on embedding your presentation into a website, or if you plan to share the presentation with others. Here's
