Eating on a Budget

Everyone knows that eating on a budget is sometimes unavoidable.  College students are usually the ones to fall victim to an empty stomach and "moth infested" wallets.  I am positive we all have stories of raiding refrigerators and cabinets trying to find something to eat.  As I searched the internet for a good recipe I stumbled on SEVENTEEN magazine's website (I promise I landed there on accident) (ha.ha).  This website can help you tame the Loud Beast in your stomach while keeping your wallet in tact.  I'll post two of my favorite recipes from the website, and you guys can check out the rest on the link below! Enjoy!

http://www.seventeen.com/college/freshman/recipes-for-college-students#slide-1

Dinner: Pita Pizza

1 whole wheat pita
2/3 cup marinara sauce
1 ounce cheddar, sliced or diced
2 ounces mozzarella, in pieces

- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

- Spread a layer of marinara sauce on the pita. Then evenly lay down the cheese.- Bake for 7 minutes, or until the cheese is all melted.

Breakfast: Fruit & Yogurt

1 apple
1 banana
1 orange
A pinch of sugar
Nonfat vanilla yogurt

- Wash the apple, then dice.
- Peel the banana. Cut it into approximately 쀀 inch slices, and then cut those in half.
- Cut the orange into approximately 퀀 inch-wide crescents, and then cut those in two. Remove the peel from all of the pieces.
- Mix the apple, banana, and orange in a bowl and add a pinch (or two) of sugar to the top.
- Eat with yogurt on the side, or combine it with the fruit.

Reflections on Fall CUE Conference

Here in California we have a state organization called CUE or the Computer Using Educators.  They have several conferences a year and I just came back from the Fall CUE in Napa Valley.

I usually have a focus when I go to a conference, some learning goals for myself that I use to determine what sessions I attend.  This time I was looking for sessions about innovative schools and about motivating learners.

Here are some quotes/ideas from various speakers related to those topics that I thought were interesting:

Chris Scott said that students need three things: Autonomy, Purpose, Mastery


Roni Habib said when you foster creativity in the classroom, deeper learning takes place.
What role will technology pay in our student's future?
What is important to our students?
How do they approach their learning?
What do we prepare kids for that really matter?

James Brown said if we want deeper learning, we need sustained engagement, emotional connection, critical evaluation, and a high reward mechanism.

Rushton Hurley had questions that were important to ask:

What role will technology pay in our student's future?

What is important to our students?

How do they approach their learning?

What do we prepare kids for that really matter?

He also had this great quote about student engagement, "If they're not guessing, they're bored."

Vicki Davis: "Students should leave high school with a learning legacy." and "Our classrooms are microclimates."

Jon Bergmann: "Teaching is about the relationship between the teacher and the student."  and "Every kid deserves the right education for that kid."  He also asked, "What is the best use of your face to face class time?"

Fred Mindlin thought we needed to think about the difference between data driven and data informed and that we need to train students to be the creators not to be consumers.

Links to the speaker notes when available and other links can be found in this shared Evernote folder.

This was my first conference by CUE and I also have some thoughts about how it was run.  There were only 15 minutes between each session and only an hour for lunch.  That meant the organizers could squeeze in five sessions a day and a keynote, but there wasn't much time for reflection or connection between sessions. I would have preferred four sessions and time to chat with my colleagues or the presenters in a longer break in between sessions.  Second, in some of the other tech conferences I've attended, there was an emphasis on connecting with others not just as a fan, but for the exchange of ideas.  In this conference, I felt there was an "in" group and those "stars" weren't very welcoming or encouraging to bring others into that group.  That social piece is something I think CUE needs to work on.

Overall, I had a good time.  I feel there are so many teachers who just need to be convinced that technology can benefit them in general, so there isn't as much at conferences like this for those of us who are already convinced and now need to go deeper in leveraging that technology use for deep learning.

High School Diploma in your State

A U.S. state is any one of 52 sub national entities of the United States of America that share sovereignty with the federal government (four states use the official title of commonwealth rather than state). Because of this shared sovereignty, an American is a citizen both of the federal entity and of his or her state of domicile.[1] However, state citizenship is very flexible, and no government approval is required to move between states (with the exception of convicts on parole).

The Monday Blues

DonҀt you hate it? You just enjoyed a great Friday night out with friends and now this.  

Saturday flew by because you knew you only had one more day before ӀITԀ was here. 
Sunday on the other hand truly was relaxing.  You got to watch the football game and maybe caught the second episode of ӀThe Walking DeadԀ (great show by the way). 

According to statistics, Monday is the favored day for self-destruction. (Well that was harsh)

DONҀT BREAK DOWN!!  Monday isnҀt amongst the most favored day, but it can turn into a building block for the rest of your week. 

I know I am not the only one who hates Mondays.  Believe it or not Monday can prove to be a very productive day.  If you are going back to school, work, or both, Monday can feel like a drag.  Here are a few remedies to clear that Monday cough,

•          Go to bed early- As much as you want to enjoy the remainder of your Sunday, it is time to think about what lies ahead.  If you go to bed early youҀll wake up with a better attitude, and you might avoid walking around with this face

•          Positivity People- Remember that there is only one Monday in a week.  The more aggravated you get, the longer youҀll make the day feel.  A professor once told me that the reason she was always smiling was because she knew that if she came into an 8 oҀclock class with a ӀScroogeԀ attitude, she would mess the day up for all of us.  Smart theory huh?

•         You Time- Break time should be your getaway.  I do it all the time.  Once you go for lunch, loosen the grip your job has on you and focus on something else.  Yes this time is short compared to the rest of the day, but you can restart your brain by thinking of other things.  Listen to music, catch up with a coworker, or random search Google.  The point is to let your mind go.

   If you try one of these things I guarantee your Monday will be that much closer to stress free.
   Here's a website to get your mind off of things.
 
    Enjoy your week! http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~bingbin/

 

Can this be the College Life?

I decided that this post will talk about some misconceptions of the college life.  It becomes very easy to fall into a confused state of mind when thinking about what your future holds.  The weeks before starting college can drive you crazy but relax, let's break down some of the misconceptions about the college life.

Every class is extremely difficult

WRONG! College does require that students apply themselves, but this does not mean that you will be going crazy with every course you take.  This is a whole new chapter in your life so you should be ready to face some tough courses.  The truth is that some classes are actually fun and relatively easy.  You should always keep in mind that your area of study dictates what type of classes you will be taking.  If you want to be an accountant, get ready to battle those assets and liabilities!  If you are majoring in Justice Studies, you may take a course that involves recognizing different types of fingerprints. Every course is different so DONҀT get scared when choosing your courses.

Social life and good grades are impossible to obtain

WRONG! On one of my last posts I mentioned that when you are in college you can only have two out of the following three: good grades, a social life, and enough sleep.  As true as this may be I feel that partying is no excuse for bad grades.  College is a stepping stone to your future.  Any education after high school is designed to prepare you for the rest of your life (career wise).  College builds character and responsibility.  If you decide to go out and drink your life away, your grades will surely represent that.  The alternative to this is to go out occasionally and get your school work done on time.  

This is a short video that I found about certain college life misconceptions, Enjoy!

My Dream School

This week I'm starting a new online course, called Designing a New Learning Environment from Stanford.  One of the things we have to do is to form teams around a similar idea for a team project.  This is a description of some of the inspiration and ideas that I have for what I think a new K-12 school system should look like.

Some of my inspirations include my experiences as a teacher and in working with the homeschooling community, the writings of Alfie Kohn and Will Richardson, the book Disrupting Class by Clayton Christensen, and the work in Alaska's Chugach School District.

I believe that humans are curious, self directed learners, that we are better together than apart, and that mentors are essential to the learning experience.  I also believe that the current high stakes testing climate and the Common Core standards are not in the best interest of students in the United States.

In one of his blog posts, Will Richardson sums up the problem by saying, "...if we donҀt start writing and advocating for a very different vision of learning in real classrooms, one that is focused not just on doing the things we've been doing better but in ways that are truly reinvented, one that prepares kids to be innovators and designers and entrepreneurs and, most importantly, learners, we will quickly find ourselves competing at scale with cheaper, easier alternatives that wonҀt serve our kids as well."

My current thoughts are that the best way to model a different vision of what learning could look like in American classrooms (and those around the world, for that matter) is to create a non-profit that runs a demonstration school, develops a competency based k-12 curriculum, creates open educational resources so that the model and curriculum can be implemented in any school or district, and act as a research hub to compile research to support the model.  A non-profit could run a zero-tuition school that would be private but act as a charter school and in that way be exempt from following Common Core standards.

I also have a few ideas of what the curriculum might look like.  Kindergarten to 2nd grade would look somewhat like it does now.  There would be an emphasis on technology to learn skills and the teacher model technology tools to create and discover, turning over the reigns as appropriate.  Small, cooperative groups would create and discover with teacher guidance.  

In third through sixth grade, students would have an overview of history ancient to modern times, they would learn about the major concepts in sciences, and continue to develop skills in math and language.  The technology emphasis would be on creation, finding information, and evaluating sources, though technology would still be used for skill development.  In addition, students would learn basic programming in something like Scratch and participate in NVC style training.  

In grades seven to ten, big ideas guide learning so students can study areas of particular interest.  The emphasis in technology is on contributing to the online community, with more sophisticated creation and critical thinking skills improved.  Specific skills are studied in language and math where needed.  Students would also learn more sophisticated programming, human psychology, goal setting, time management, and independent study skills.  They would begin the process of developing their Personal Learning Networks.

In grades eleven and twelve, the emphasis would be on following individual passions, apprenticeship, business, and marketing.  The end of schooling is preparation for what students plan to do next with academics chosen to best meet those needs.

All this is subject to change and revision, of course, but it gives some idea of where I'm starting in this class.
