Alan, I’m glad that you found it useful. That first year of teaching is tough but there’s lots of people out there willing to share. Good luck in your first classroom.

I am an adult who went back to school later in life to learn to be a teacher. Through my college classes I learned about strategies and teaching styles, like your story explains, am quite apprehensive about my first day of teaching. I didn’t know that a new teacher is assigned a mentor teacher, or that materials are given to you. I was picturing myself walking into class the first day, not knowing what to teach, or where to get the materials to use. Thanks for sharing this!

Comment on Book buying – ebook or physical by Bill Bass

That’s what I ended up doing. However, what gave me pause was not how I was going to use it, but how I was going to use it in conjunction with my colleagues. For me, ebook is definitely the way to go. But when I know I will be working with others around it, I had to think and decide if it changes the experience for them if I’m using an ebook.

I am the opposite–I pick to buy the kindle version when I know I am going to highlight and mark a book up because I love being able to access those highlights and notes all in one place on the site. I am actually not even remembering if I own a hard copy of the book or a kindle version anymore. Very odd.

You were definitely there.

I’m amazed how much I have been drawing from the workshops you did for us. Thanks.

I’m reading it now. Just haven’t been able to get all the way through it yet. Looking forward to some time to finish up. Thanks for the comment Brett.

You may also enjoy the recent TED book, Why School?, by Will Richardson. He starts with the question you ask, “What is literacy?”, and then explores the role school can / should play.
