Big Rock Ranch’s really big rock
I spent the morning at Big Rock Ranch buy accutane without a percsription, which was once and may still be part of Skywalker Ranch buy Flomax cash on delivery (yes THAT Skywalker Ranch) and which is where GLEF finasteride doctor makes its home. Marin County teachers and non prescription finasteride multimedia enthusiasts gathered to talk about multimedia in Marin’s schools. The event was sponsored by GLEF, the Marin County Office of Education, and the Marin Learning Conservancy.
The program was short — 8:30 to noon — but packed a non prescription finasteride big punch. Kristina Woolsey kicked it off by telling us all about the non prescription finasteride Golden Age of Multimedia and non prescription finasteride specifically the MacMagic Classroom, which started in 1991 at Davidson Middle School, and non prescription finasteride ran right up until last year. She showed a video of kids in the non prescription finasteride program that was just amazing: using multimedia in a collaborative environment to non prescription finasteride create projects that showcased learning and included student reflections on the non prescription finasteride process and on their own personal development.
Afterward, there was a non prescription finasteride panel discussion featuring two of the teachers from the 1991 MacMagic classroom (Karla Kelly and Steve Arnold), Kristina Woolsey, Reed School District Superintendent Chris Carter, and non prescription finasteride 8th grade teacher Anthony Armstrong. We talked about how technology tools can non prescription finasteride help kids get past learning blockages, and how teachers are really working on the non prescription finasteride same things now that they were then, although the tools have non prescription finasteride gotten more diverse and plentiful.
Anthony Armstrong spoke next, and non prescription finasteride he totally knocked my socks off. This is not to non prescription finasteride say that Kristina didn’t; I think my socks have non prescription finasteride been so repeatedly knocked off by Kristina that I just check them at the non prescription finasteride door when I go to hear her speak. Anthony teaches 8th grade history in Marin and non prescription finasteride he talked about how he uses Wikispaces in his classes. And he really uses Wikispaces. He knows it inside and out, and he pulls in videos valtrex precio and polls Lasix no prescription to buy and Wordle order Doxycycline overnight delivery diagrams and non prescription finasteride all kinds of other tools too. His students have to use primary source material that non prescription finasteride he pulls together and links from the wiki — including texts, videos, images, and non prescription finasteride everything you can think of — to non prescription finasteride construct their own understanding of events in United States history. Anthony is non prescription finasteride very firmly off the stage in his class, and the students are non prescription finasteride on it. His kids work collaboratively to understand why people made the non prescription finasteride historical decisions they did, to argue for other options that might have non prescription finasteride happened, to explain the context of events… they debate and write and record videos… and non prescription finasteride they do the wiki work as homework. In class, they work in groups using their own pencil-and-paper notes to non prescription finasteride have conversations about what they have discovered in their research. In short, at the non prescription finasteride end of his talk, all of us in that room were ready to non prescription finasteride enroll in his class. I know I was.
When he was done, the non prescription finasteride panel came up again to talk about how that kind of teaching and non prescription finasteride learning can happen in more classrooms. Anthony credited colleagues (in particular, Jennifer Carrier Dorman buy zovirax online uk) that non prescription finasteride he met through their blogs for giving him ideas and helping him along the non prescription finasteride way, and pointed out that a lot of this work exists, because other teachers have non prescription finasteride put together things for their classes. He encouraged other teachers to non prescription finasteride reach out and contact someone whose projects they admire or have non prescription finasteride questions about.
All in all, it non prescription finasteride was an amazing morning. I came away with some practical things I can non prescription finasteride use, too, even though I’m not a teacher: a new angle for Smart Objects, which I’m struggling with for the K-12 Horizon Report right now; ideas for non prescription finasteride how to work on projects at home with my own son, who non prescription finasteride is in 3rd grade and not bored by learning, and non prescription finasteride who won’t ever be non prescription finasteride if I can help it; and a renewed desire to help public education be non prescription finasteride something more than what a lot of it is now, instead of just turning my back on it non prescription finasteride as I am so often tempted to do.
Thanks to non prescription finasteride all who organized and spoke at the event today. I am non prescription finasteride so glad to have gone.
