Hi all. Just thought I would share some thoughts / comments on a recent classroom evaluation and global learner tools / strategies..
A couple of weeks ago I was formally evaluated as part of my job performance as a classroom teacher. Of note was my evaluator's remark that "I used technology appropriately and seamlessly in my lesson." (paraphrased....)
My oh my! How has my approach to classroom presentation changed in the 18 mo I have been a global learner? Gone are the overhead transparencies! Gone is me chained to the overhead projector! Gone is the one-way flow of communication! They have been replaced by the interactive smartboard, on-demand videos, interactive virtual labs and powerpoints + many more tools.
I am appreciative of the Global Learner program and the opportunity I have had to "re-invent" myself as a classroom teacher. I am appreciative of the interactions with other global learners as well as truly thankful to the efforts of Dave and Joe to promote this forum and philosophy!
Peace, Doug

Thank you for your reflection Doug. I think your reflection shows so much growth in your adaptation to teaching styles and gives inspiration to others. Eighteen months ago, did you think you'd be a leader in implementing and teaching others technology tools and strategies?
Doug,
That is a great evaluation comment. You should be proud. I also know you are most proud and satisfied when your students are learning and showing they are prepared to be successful outside of Adams City High School. Thank you for your open and honest reflection and, as always, thank you for the generous compliment.
Nice job, Doug!
hey all ... thanks for the kind words ....
