Better Late Than Never......Podcast Search

I am so glad that I had time to search for pod casts. There have only been a few that I have subscribed to such as church services, or music booklets bit never things like yoga or books! It was really neat to see that there are so many different pod casts out there!
The first one I found was a free, instructional video on yoga. I thought this site was great for personal reasons but, I also thought that children might like it too. When we are stuck indoors because of Nebraska winters it is nice to have some movement tricks up your sleeve as a teacher. Doing yoga could be a fabulous stress reliever for students and adults!
Next I discovered a podcast, that was again free, on math tips. There were numerous tips and tricks for all different math topics. Some of the areas would be a bit to advanced for my first grade students but, goodness I wish that I would have had a site like this in high school!

Delicious Thoughts and Link

This is a great site that is not only convenient for you but also helps others. Delicious was a very user friendly and helped me to easily tag sites that I enjoy. A few of the sites that I have discovered had gardening tips that I found useful. It is great to know that no matter where I am at I can access the sites that I find useful and interesting. By tagging some of these websites others can also view wonderful, online material.

After watching the week four video I was very intrigued. This was a very interesting video contrast of “learners,” and “students.” I can really relate to this clip from a teachers perspective as well as a student (or should I say learner’s) perspective. As a teacher I do not expect my students to obtain perfect scores or get everything correct. If students were able to achieve perfection al the time there would really be no reason for me to continue to teach them! I like when I am challenged, can do my job and actually educate students by empowering them to learn something new! If someone is concerned more with attendance and perfection will not be able to put into action what they are learning. Instead of putting energy into getting straight A’s put your energy into applying your education.
