Educators Make A Digital Wish!


We don't receive many perks in the field of education and we frequently have to stretch a dollar. The website Digital Wish is for nonprofit education. You can make a wish here and then the site will collect money towards your wish. They also sell to educators for discounted rates.

The latest item is a 2 for 1 digital flip video camera! You have to register and they will confirm you are a teacher before you are allowed to purchase.

The Oxymoron of Blogs


Would you like to hear an oxymoron?

I don't read blogs.

Really.
I simply do not have the time.

I tend to read for information and to learn. (Unless it is a good fiction novel!)

I understand why people would not wish to subscribe to this blog since we are all busy. Time is just a short commodity in our lives.

I try to put very short snippets of information in this blog to direct you to information rather than write a dissertation on a topic or my own thoughts or reflections. This blog is intended to provide information.

With that said... I do read a blog called Principal's Page religiously. Here is a sample of Michael Smith's blog on School is Hard Work.

My all time favorite blog from Principal's Page was when he told us the top five things not to do in a job interview. I had to wipe the tears from my eyes because I was laughing so hard. I simply did not think of prospective teachers having their mothers drive them to the interview.

Ok...one more favorite..Swine Flu! This one Mr. Smith did not slop down!! It is hysterical.

Mr. Smith's blog is always timely, entertaining, funny and engaging. I highly recommend a weekly dose of Principal's Page Postings.
He always makes me smile and see the lighter side of education.

Teachers always need more laughter in their lives. Happy reading.
