Author Birthday Calendar

January 21, 2013

A few years ago, I made a family calendar as Christmas gifts for my relatives.  Using an online photo site, I uploaded family photos for each person's birthday, anniversary, holidays, etc.  I figured my relatives would enjoy the calendar gifts, but what I didn't count on was the year-long pressure resulting from the calendar.  At every event since the first calendar, every time a picture is snapped, I'm greeted with, "That has…

When a conference works (and doesn't) by Seth Goldin

When a conference works (and doesn't)

by Seth Goldin

When we get together with others, even at a weekly meeting, it either works, or it doesn't. For me, it works:

...If everything is on the line, if in any given moment, someone is going to say or do something that might just change everything. Something that happens in the moment and can't possibly be the same if you hear about it later. It…

The Pushes and Pulls of Education in 2013: Where is the Learning?

Among the many pushes and pulls that impact the exchange between teacher and student we find an ever-growing list of elements that demand our attention.   Today our senses are being battered by any number of requests for “techno fixes” and ways to gain an advantage, or ways that provide the promise of being able to take a shortcut to the success of everything from student achievement to the prevention of a possible physical assault on our students.  Test prep programs, online tutorials,…

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource

Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and

other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching

practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
