Teaching to Learn-Learning to Teach: October 2008
http://toniajohnson.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Teaching to Learn-Learning to Teach. Friday, October 17, 2008. The Roof - The Roof - The Roof is on FIRE. I can't believe that it has been less than a month since my last blog post. How quickly change happens in education. The crazy thing is that I have gotten less done in my full time capacity as I did doing it part time. I have literally been in meetings! I'm still teaching first block and there is about 1 hour of lunch supervision. Its CRAZY. One of the cool tools I'm excited about is through acrobat&...

Teaching to Learn-Learning to Teach. Saturday, June 20, 2009. Tonia tried her hand at Vlogging (also known as TloGging). I have been meaning to get back to blogging for the past year.when you stop doing it, you get so much you want to share, you don't know where to start. So, I vlogged.although I prefer to call it a tlog. Hopefully, I can once again become reflective about my practice. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Come to EduCon 2.0.

Teaching to Learn-Learning to Teach: August 2008
http://toniajohnson.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Teaching to Learn-Learning to Teach. Thursday, August 21, 2008. Monday, August 18, 2008. Summer Break is over.now I have to think. The greatest growth I’ve experienced as a teacher came last year. This was the year I began to blog about my experiences in my classroom I found that I was able to work my way through most of my issues and really REFLECT on what worked and what didn’t. This is the understanding that I have constructed from the experiences that I have had. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Teaching to Learn-Learning to Teach: September 2009
http://toniajohnson.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Teaching to Learn-Learning to Teach. Sunday, September 13, 2009. Language Povery and 21st Century Tools. In addition, we compared the word to concepts we already possessed. My nephew, for example, upon being presented with a grape for the first time called it a, "berry." He CATEGORIZED it as being sweet, small and red, therefore it must be a berry. His mother responded, "No Kia, its a grape. Can you say, grape? How can we do this through the medium of 21st Century Tools? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Teaching to Learn-Learning to Teach: January 2008
http://toniajohnson.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Teaching to Learn-Learning to Teach. Thursday, January 31, 2008. Today was an eyeopening experience. We began by taking an assignment and dissecting it to figure out what proficiency would look like, what skills students needed to gain proficiency, and finally what instruction would need to look like. The most powerful thing that I walked away was the idea that the assessment or task should be presented to students before instruction so that they have an idea of what they are expected to do. I'm still di...

Teaching to Learn-Learning to Teach: how to move from great to good
http://toniajohnson.blogspot.com/2008/09/how-to-move-from-great-to-good.html
Teaching to Learn-Learning to Teach. Tuesday, September 9, 2008. How to move from great to good. I don't know how "PC" this blog post will be. this is a warnin. I'm going to use this post to vent because I find that by venting I find clarification. And ultimately new direction. I love to teach. I want each of my students to feel cared for and know. That I expect them to excel. I wonder how clearly I have been able to voice this message over the past two weeks? And the other half retaking the class. Looki...

http://toniajohnson.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Teaching to Learn-Learning to Teach. Sunday, September 21, 2008. I have created an "online" course experience for my students who are "retreads.". Those who have taken the class before and do not need language support are doing a self-paced version. I posted all of their learning activities on a wiki and am having them post them on their Goolge site. I'm pretty excited. I've been playing with the idea of a course management system, namely sakai, but I may be able to do most things through a wiki. I wonde...
