I am a grade 6/7 teacher at Summit Middle School in School District 43, Coquitlam. This blog is a journal of my path to going native. Digital native. This blog is about how I am learning ways to integrate technology into education to improve student learning. My views are my own.

Notetaking is like Texting
This is a video I made about a question an ESL student asked me today "How do you write notes?" Her question was really, how is notetaking different from writing full sentences? I came up with an analogy she understood - by using her cell phone!
Thanks for your comments - about the facial hair spaguyswife - its for raising awareness for prostate cancer. We are calling this month MOvember, in honour of prostate cancer awareness month.

That's a brilliant analogy. Kids always seem to get it when you relate it to their technology. PS. You need a nice catchphrase to end with.

Nice spin, and in a manner that kids can relate. Charlie and I both concur, we like you better without the facial hair! :)
Not sure if the original post went through...
Nice spin on note taking, a great way for the kids to relate!
BTW, you're looking well but Charlie and I both agree, we prefer the clean shaven Mr. G! :)

Mirror Man - A catchphrase, huh? I shall put some thought into it, and would welcome your suggestions.
