What is Cross Country

Hello everyone, I hope you all are well.

This post is actually not about teaching, but rather about the sport that I coach, Cross-Country. Cross-Country perhaps may seem like an odd sport if you have never done it. It might appear to be just a bunch of people running around a field together. In reality, it is much more than that.

In order to give you an introduction to the sport, I put this video together. I had never used iMovie before, so there was A LOT of learning involved, but I started to get the hang of it by the end. I certainly have a long way to go, though, in terms of learning to make films.

One note- When viewing the video, I recommend watching it in "Theater mode" which can be found in the lower right hand corner next to the "Full Screen" mode. Blogger wouldn't let me upload a video larger than 100mb so this was the highest quality I could upload and it looks a little grainy in full screen mode. I considered just uploading it to youtube, but I kind of wanted to use the video feature offered by Blogger to see what it was like.

One other note- Most of the pictures used in the video were my own, except the image of the runner with the moustache- that was Steve Prefontaine.

Anyhow, enjoy and leave any comments that you want about this video.

Using Newsela in a Social Studies Classroom

Newsela is an adaptive technology that can be useful in any K-12 social-studies classroom. Essentially, Newsela is a website that compiles news articles from a variety of sources, such as the Washington Post and USA Today, and re-writes those articles at a several of different reading levels. Newsela describes their product, writing, “We publish high-interest news and nonfiction articles daily at five levels of complexity for grades 2-12 using a proprietary, rapid text-leveling process. By combining relevant and interesting nonfiction content with standards-aligned assessments, Newsela gives educators the primary solution to dramatically improve students’ literacy skills for the 21st century.” While Newsela is a powerful piece of technology that can be applied in many ways, its most commonly used in a social-studies setting to allow students who read at different levels to all access the same content without being limited by one’s own reading skill le...

Kahoot as Formative Assessment

I had never heard of Kahoot until I saw it mentioned on the syllabus for a technology in education class. Upon looking up the website, it became immediately clear that this app would be a great way to conduct formative assessments. Basically, Kahoot is an app that allows anyone to create a quiz on a computer and then present that quiz to students who are able to answer each question on their smart phone or tablet. The platform itself is very engaging and would be easy to use for most high school students. One obvious shortcoming of this app is that if there are many students who do not have a smartphone it could be problematic. To solve this problem, ideally the classroom would have one or two tablets on hand to allow students to participate even if they do not have a personal device. If there is a large number of students in the class without access to a device, Kahoot also offers a team mode that could solve the problem, though it might lead to a less accurate assessment of eac...

Site Map

Hello all, So here is my first post, it is nothing more than a brief map of the site. If you look to the top of the page there are 3 links to 3 separate blog pages. The first takes you to the home page, which will have different blog posts on it. The second is a page titled "My Journey" that tells you a bit about myself and my career trajectory. The third and final page contains contact info as well as links to several websites I find valuable and an embedded widget containing my resume. The blog is simple right now and I look forward to adding to it. Thanks for visiting.
