Digital Footprint & the Future of Resumes

I read an article yesterday about the future of resumes in education.  It talked about how your classroom website, blogs, twitter feed, etc. are the resumes of the future.  Gone are the days of creating a binder to hand to potential employers.  I'd have to agree.

Geometry Team Teaching & 1:1 Implementation

As August is right around the corner, my colleague Jarrod and I have begun to plan our team teaching experiment for this upcoming school year.  Here's the setup:

  • We each have 3 sections of geometry and 1 section of geometry applied.
  • Our geometry applied sections are 2nd hour; our geometry sections are 4th, 5th, and 6th hours.
  • We share two planning periods (1st and 7th hours).
  • Our rooms are across the hall from one another.  Jarrod's room is gigantic and has 15 tables which can sit up to 4 students at once.
  • Each of our rooms has 30 laptop computers, a Smart board, a document camera, and 30 TI-Nspire CX calculators.

We have decided on Edmodo as our classroom technology hub.  We also have access for Pearson (c) 2015 Common Core online interactive resources.

More to come...
