There is a universal respect and even admiration for those who are humble and simple by nature, and who have absolute confidence in all human beings irrespective of their social status.

Ending the Year Right

One year in May, as I was trying to cram in the final activities for a Dramatic Lit course, I promised my students we could watch the movie version of our last play on the last day of school. “What a fun way to close out the class,” I thought. The last day rolled around and students shuffled in. I overheard “This is the 3rd movie I’ve watched today.” At the end of class…that was it. They just walked out. How anti-climactic. All they did on their last day of school was pad from room to room watching movies.

note on Pear Deck from Rob Long:  “Over 140 teachers in the Board are using Pear Deck. It is a simple tool that allows you to easily get feedback from students in the class and determine anonymously or not where students are in their thinking.”

There is a free version but the Pro version is free until the end of June, if you want to try it.
It is a Google App so head to a Google Store online.
