COMMENTS FOR TEACHERS (PART 1)

The first teacher that I have been following is Jenny She from Auckland, New Zealand. She is very honest in her self discovery that her students have been teaching her! She posts a very interesting video in her blog about a young girl named Adora, who had her first book published when she was only 6 years old. Now Adora travels around the United States speaking to Education professionals about how adults can learn a lot from children. I am posting this video because I think it is something everyone should watch! What an intelligent young lady!
July 7, 2010-We Should Listen to the Kids!
On my first Teacher Blog, Jenny wrote how when she started teaching at a new school, the school was using MAC computers. She had never used a MAC before and she did not even know how to use the mouse! She was embarrassed to ask any of her fellow colleagues for help, so she asked her students. She was amazed to find how much the students knew about using a MAC. She said, without judgment or questions on why she did not know, her students filled her in quickly, and they continue to do so whenever a question arises. I think this is wonderful. Growing up in a different generation as kids today, there are so many lessons and new technology that we never learned about in our day. I think that if you can overlook the fact that a child may know more than you, you can learn so much from them. Just be open and give a child a little respect and you will be surprised as to what they know. I know that my own daughter who is only three years old, teaches me everyday. Imagine what a school-aged child, growing up in today's society with today's growing technology, can show you!

June 6, 2010-Are we Looking After Our Planet?
Jenny posted this video to her blog. It is a video about a man who just keeps hiding his waste and trash, in hopes that no one will be able to see it. It is supposed to assimilate how people on our planet just waste and waste. Out of site, out of mind. It is truly a shame that this really is the way of the world. Not many can say that they do their part to keep our planet clean. They just continue to waste. Pretty soon there will be no where else to hide it all. Here is a link to the video. It is very creative but the message is clear.
