Do you review edtech products for your school? Wouldn’t that be an obvious extension of your role, including associated PD.

Comment on I’ve been nominated for a Bammy Award by Kattie Harmon

Congratulations for being nominated for the Bammy awards. What an honor. I do agree with you about educators needing to tell their stories because no-one else will. Just like I tell my parents, “you are your child’s biggest advocate no-one else will pull for them like you can.”

Comment on A Few Thoughts on Gun Appreciation Day by Elaine Harries

Mr. Black,

Thank you for stating things in a plain non-confrontational way. I agree that something is not right about how we handle our guns and gun rights.
Innocent lives are affected in order to protect the rights of gun owners- that can not be disputed. Just look at the news any given day.
I also think that at least some form of responsibility for keeping a registered gun safe should be imposed. Too many are “stolen” and end up in the hands of individuals who use them in crime. The original owners should assume some responsibility if this is the case. Rights without responsibility is chaos.

I didn’t know that the 2nd Amendment was actually a remnant of the inflexibility of the south toward the abolishing of slavery, but it figures.

Thank you for sharing.

Until July 1st, I am the “proposed new leader.” Thereafter, I will be Interim Acting until appointed through the c-30 process! Calling all passionate middle school teachers – especially if you are duly certified!

There are lots of grants to fund different aspects of school libraries, but reconstruction and renovation funds are hard to come by, particularly for middle schools, or so it seems. I will let you know about several grants via email. (For those reading along, Jean is a former assistant principal in my school who is now opening a new middle school as its principal).

That all sounds great:)
I saw the library in the building I’m going to be in – very depressing:( If you come across any grants to fund libraries, please let me know!

I’ve reached out in a major way to the social studies department and they have started coming to me for resources — collaboration is next, after the state exams. I’m working on a website for the library and another for the school (harder than I thought it would be — so many decisions to make). Our school is also beginning the process of shifting from Windows machines to Macs and I’m creating materials to help teachers to make that transition, among a few other things.
