Bloggin My Way Around: December 2010
http://adugger.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Bloggin My Way Around. Thursday, December 23, 2010. The Pioneers of the Digital Landscape. One way that I disagree with some educational technology theorists (and some colleagues) is that I don't believe that only our students are digital natives, and we are 'digital immigrants'. I am older than some, but younger than many and I have been immersed in the wonders of a digital life since when I can remember. Does the basis for this label have to be the Internet itself? Donkey Kong at its finest! I remember...

Bloggin My Way Around. Wednesday, October 9, 2013. Been a Long Time. From the Mouths of 4th Graders.

I'm not looking for answers, but they are of course welcome. 8221; are now in student blog articles.

Bloggin My Way Around: Wake Me Up When September Ends
http://adugger.blogspot.com/2011/08/wake-me-up-when-september-ends.html
Bloggin My Way Around. Saturday, August 6, 2011. Wake Me Up When September Ends. On the other hand, it is another opportunity to start anew. I anxiously await meeting my new class and facing these new challenges. As every September approaches, I get just as nervous and excited as I did when I was in elementary school myself. The few nights before school starts will not have too much sleep time in them for me, but that's just the way it is I guess. Enjoy the rest of your summer. Tribute to 87-93 Mustangs.

Bloggin My Way Around. Thursday, June 24, 2010. Not an End, but an Opportunity for a New Beginning. I like to think that everyone, both the students and myself, have become better since that first hopeful and exciting day in September. I know I have, and I thank each one of my students for letting me be a part of their lives and learning. Have a great summer. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Bloggin My Way Around: You teach? Seriously?
http://adugger.blogspot.com/2011/03/you-teach-seriously.html
Bloggin My Way Around. Sunday, March 6, 2011. How can we stop this? If you look for a list of professions that absolutely require a postgraduate degree, there are not many. I'm not talking about how having an MBA helps in the business world. I am talking about needing the degree to get and keep your job. Is that not enough to be treated as a professional? Taking the education of our children seriously and making it a priority begins with giving educators the respect that the profession deserves.

Bloggin My Way Around: Tenure: Right or Wrong?
http://adugger.blogspot.com/2011/02/tenure-right-or-wrong.html
Bloggin My Way Around. Wednesday, February 9, 2011. Tenure: Right or Wrong? Ordinarily I would shy away from subjects like this, but in these economic times when the public needs not only a scapegoat that they can blame, but one that they can vote on. Tenure has become one of the things debated, and I recently had a discussion with a buddy of mine on a recent train ride to the city. We are teachers that are given the gift and responsibility of playing a role in the lives of the students that enter our cl...

Bloggin My Way Around: August 2010
http://adugger.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Bloggin My Way Around. Wednesday, August 18, 2010. Being a male teacher, people always assume I teach high school. I think I have even blogged about this 'misconception'. Well, one of the questions that I am sometimes asked pertains to the subject area. "What do you teach, Math? I usually answer "Yes.". Why do we become special generalists? Is that a good term? So does that make elementary teachers true know-it-alls? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Cool Mustang Vid an older Pic of My Car is in.
