Playing with Google for Educators

There is a lot of writing and information to overwhelm any person that has an attention deficit disorder. There are also some sites that you have to download in order to use that application. This site has a lot information to offer teachers in many different areas such as science, astronomy, reading comprehension, along with classroom ideas, and activities.
I myself might one day use this site for resources in my own classroom. I am just not sure how as of yet since I have never actually taught a class before.

Educational Philosophie

This week we were to work on our educational philosophies. Then we were to look at a few different sites and go over other educational philosophies and see what we could understand and figure out. A lot of the philosophies seemed to have some similarities and a fair amount of the blogs had complaints regarding the educational system today. Of all the philosophies I could most understand and relate to David Truss's you can find it at http://pairadimes.davidtruss.com . He originally wrote it May 23, 2007. He then revised it on May 2, 2009. He did not write any specific pedagogy in his philosophy, however from what I gather he supports and inclusive multicultural, and diverse form of philosophy. He supports engaging his students and giving them the supports they need to become responsible, successful, lifetime learners. He believes that all teachers should be actively involved with their students education. I also think that he believes in the use of Blooms Taxonomy in regards to becoming creative and critical thinkers.
