For the 2020-21 school year I taught a remote section of kindergarten with 23 students from my home. One of those students was my own son, who was participating in class from his room while I was in our guest room. Please forgive the cheeky title, this was definitely NOT wartime, but it was a VERY different type of teaching and learning for students. We still had fun, we still did the things that kindergarteners do, we just did it a little differently. I think we all learned a lot of things that year, and I carried many of those ideas forward when I returned to the classroom. Normally, I would never have had my own son in class (we have 6 sections of kindergarten), but I’m sure he’ll always remember the year I was his teacher.
This build was a fun chance to reflect on what that year was like, but also catch all the details of what our home looked like at that time. The guest room was filled with teaching materials, while Elliot had a computer in his bedroom along with a plethora of board games and toys (did you spot the LEGO Death Star?) The hinged sections allow several ways to display and view this build.
Why you ask? Well... because knowing gang signs makes you COOL! Haha. Or perhaps you are just bored passing quality time with friends at a cafe. Nick, Katy, and Jeremy at Quacks.

I recently re-discovered my mom's baby book kept by her father. I'm posting some of the ads from the book dated 1918-1919.
Near to my hotel in Siem Reap , Cambodia was a small Buddhist temple ...not on the usual tourist route. So when I had a few moments on my own ,I thought that I would sneak in & have a `nose` around the area. It was a proper little community there, with amongst other things, a lesson taken place in a veranda classroom. I learned later that it was a lesson in Japanese. When the students saw me they smiled & wanted to have a chat .....the monk teacher didn`t seem to mind at all. In fact he happily posed for my picture.
Please see first comment.

Margaret Roberts gives the 2013 Rex Walford Memorial Lecture at the Geographical Association's Annual Conference in Derby.
'Geography is inherently values laden' (Roberts 2013).
‘To my mind, teachers do no service to their pupils if they give them the impression that such problems [development in towns, areas of unemployment, pollution] are easily defined, that the processes involved are well understood so that their occurrence can be straightforwardly explained and that there are always practicable solutions available. Issues such as the ones I have mentioned are matters of legitimate dispute precisely because there are often strong disagreements about diagnoses, goals and strategies’ (Keith Joseph 1985 - from the lecture slides).
"For young people the world can seem difficult to handle both at a personal and a global level, but they should not be sheltered from difficult issues – it is important for them to clarify their emotions and values and learn to think for themselves. The importance for young people of developing high levels of self-esteem to help them personally and academically is well documented. Self-esteem, central to Education for Global Citizenship, is a pre-requisite for debating wider global issues if they are to handle disagreement and acknowledge other people’s viewpoints. Additionally, using controversial issues helps young people to develop a number of skills, including enquiry, critical thinking and analytical skills. Using activities like those suggested later enables young people to learn to make reasoned judgements, respect the opinions of others, weigh up different viewpoints, participate actively in arguments and debates, and resolve conflicts" (Oxfam 2006 www.oxfam.org.uk/~/media/Files/Education/Teacher%20Suppor...)
"Everything said in this session was likely to be controversial. People have different ideas about what controversial issues are, what the role of the teacher should be in learning about them, and what classroom activities will help students investigate them. In this lecture Margaret illustrated her views through the example of climate change" (Source: www.geography.org.uk/cpdevents/annualconference).

followthethings.com is a database that teachers can use to engage their students in controversies of globalisation and (un)ethical trade. Soon, we will be adding to our site more ways and means to do this.
See how teachers are already using the site on our 'classroom' page, here iwanttodiscussthat.wordpress.com/teaching-resources/

A Flight Instructor teaches a new crew chief what to do. Over the next several months, the "new guy" will put around 50 flight hours under his belt, be trained in a myriad of mission tasks (including aerial gunnery, external loads, waterbucket and paradrop operations), then train those same tasks under the green hue of Night Vision goggles, become much more well rounded in aircraft maintenance, and finally, start getting some serious experience for an upcoming deployment.

Teaching the workshop "the light meter" for the first time tonight.
We filmed the video today for the new "mastering the modelshoot" instructional video series.
Chris thought it would be a good idea to give buck a salt lick Chris took buck into the stables and showed him the salt lick buck pricked his ears up and started stairing at the salt lick *look buck mmm tastes nice* Chris said as he went to the salt lick and licked it Chris made a face in disscust as he hated the taste he sat on the salt lick buck walked over to the salt lick and gave it a lick buck enjoyed the taste and started licking some more on the side he couldnt lick the top as Chris was sitting there Chris started to get smaller and smaller untill he was the size of a fly buck was enjoying the taste so much he noticed Chris was not sitting on the salt lick so he lowerd his head and started sliding his tongue across the salt lick Chris saw the giant tongue and started running for his life from the giant tounge he will never get away there is no hope for him
All that we are is the result of what we have thought.
If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him.
If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him,
like a shadow that never leaves him.

A screening of Teaching in Arizona short documentary at Pima Community College West, Tucson, AZ, May 2019
I was standing near a street corner in downtown Portland today when I noticed this little girl attempt to walk into traffic. Fortunately, her grandfather had hold of her hand and turned it into a teachable moment about holding hands and traffic.
