I am so relieved by your confession, because it tells me there are still people out there who believe in following learners rather than following curriculum! We are given so little room anymore for inquiry! It takes time and effort to stay child-centered!

I realize now that the "lived curriculum" in my classroom is responsive to the needs and interests of my students. Engagement is key in learning and how is this achieved? Surely not through a boxed curriculum. Here's hoping that this century will bring the needed transformation to our education systems. It seems as though you are transforming your classroom into a place of wonder for your students. The choices that you offer to your students must surely provide opportunities for engagement.<br />I look forward to reading more of your posts this summer!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2077547258255550453.post-41756489983842715052013-07-08T09:17:20.923-05:002013-07-08T09:17:20.923-05:00I'm with you Randi.

Some teachers thrive on boxed curricula. How dull it seems to me. Our math program is boxed and it is my least favorite subject to teach now. Without the box, I would love teaching math.<br />I look forward to reading and sharing more with you during the blogging challenge. <br />#kinderblog13poulingailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06367868612834399503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2077547258255550453.post-34904326421529109642013-07-07T17:27:22.295-05:002013-07-07T17:27:22.295-05:00I think it's so important for kids to connect ...I think it's so important for kids to connect what they are learning to the real world and agree that technology helps tremendously to accomplish this.

My name is Meg Schneider, I have been paired with you to embark on this great opportunity of Quad Blogging. I have to admit that this is a first time for me, so if you have done this project before, could you give me some advice as to how best to succeed? Also, I am not sure how to connect your kids' blog with ours since it didn't appear to me that you had a kidblog account. So any help in that technical issue would also be appreciated. Thanks for working with us on this!!

Not having the technology background you do I have found it difficult to utilize the iPads to their full capacity. We have had them in the hands of the students for about 2 weeks now. Your screen of apps is extensive. Are most of them free or did your district purchase them? I noticed in one of your posts that you attend BSU. I am in Cambridge, ID and would LOVE to observe your class on a Friday if your are in ID and that is something you would be willing to do. I am so glad to have stumbled onto your site and will read all of your posts. Thanks for sharing your talents and work!
