As I Teach This Year...

Ran across an excellent, inspiring post recently by Bud Hunt titled, "An Open Letter to Teachers". Put it on your list of things to read at the start of this academic year. My goal is to glance often at his suggestions so I "wordled" it. Thanks, Bud!

    You bet! I just did such a thing with my students about a week ago. Got really positive feedback on this web app. I can see lots of applications for it in the classroom far beyong an introductory activity. :)
