Well, well Mr. McClung is a teacher that has certainly set the bar for others to follow. His creativity, organization, and dedication are qualities that everyone could learn from. His blog is meticulously designed with everyone in mind. He has considered parents, students, colleagues, and the public. I would certainly have to give him props for his passion for everyone involved in his learning network.
His rules that he has posted on his blog for everyone to be aware of is very clear for everyone to understand. I think it is wonderful that he encouraging his students to know immediately that they will learn to carry on conversations in such a disciplined respectful manner.
DAY PLANNER, I couldn’t agree more needs to be the first on the must have list. It is such an essential tool in being organized. I think students should be introduced to planners in classrooms at earlier ages. Planners will definitely be a must for my classroom as well.
Mr. McClung and Dr.Strange has either talked or took one anthers advice on the rules of grades and deadlines. I recall a notice informing me that if the mid-term questionnaire was not filled out by the deadline that it would be a deduction of 1 letter grade. This rule certainly gives incentive for being punctual with assignments.
Mr.McClung’s approach with his blog being a “vehicle” is brilliant. We use vehicles to drive us places his blog can do the very same thing. His blog can take you from one place to the next. This is a wonderful tool that a teacher can provide a student.
There was also 2 links that I explored, Convince Me and Discovery Education. Convince Me is a debate website that allows people to discuss controversial and current issues going on in the world. It is wonderful because it can allow you to hear others opinions which you may have never considered before. The Discovery Education website is designed to help teachers, students, administrators, and parents. I will with a doubt go back to it for help with my son and his homework.
