Rethinking Series

My attempt to follow through with a series, "Around the Web in 80 Days" was a major fail and I apologize to those who wanted to learn more about specific sites and tools. It's embarrassing that I offered something and then failed to deliver.

I realized there are so many other blogs and wikis devoted to that type of posting and that's not where my passion lies. (Look at SpeechTechie, Free Technology for Teachers and Larry Ferlazzo's Websites of the Day, among others, for daily resources and 21st Century Educational Technology and Learning for detailed information about topics.)

Instead, my hope through my blog is to challenge thinking about how we educate struggling learners. Over the next few weeks, I will embark on a series about rethinking established and unquestioned educational practices. The first few posts will look at the use of assignment notebooks, the use of textbooks, and requiring all students to produce the same product to demonstrate what they have learned. I'll also write about the guiding principles which permeate what I do as an educator.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
