Monday the 30th, last day of September. Ill be student teaching in two weeks and feel like I should be more nervous than I am. This makes me feel good yet nervous that Im not nervous. Maybe its a sign that I am were Im supposed to be and doing what Im supposed to be doing. My ICT course is proving to be pretty informative and giving us lots of ideas to use for the classroom. Ill be teaching English during my first placement and Im already starting to think how students can use things like pixlr, iMovie, prezi, storybird, etc. in the classroom either for group assignments to accommodate class presentations, or even for those whose first language is not English, perhaps those students can use things like twitter or prezi to help enhance their language but also feel good about doing an assignment and use these projects to inform their language.

here is a little k pop for a nice sunny fall afternoon....

Ok, so here is my first official written blog on my new site. I just read an article about a group of 300 teenagers who broke into the house of an ex NFLer and threw a party, trashed the place, spray painted the walls, caused about $20 000 in damages and now the parents of these kids are threatening to sue the man who owns the house. That's right, the man who wasn't even in the same state at the time of the Labour Day weekend party is being threatened with lawsuits by the parents because he found out who the kids where and outed them. the kids posted pics online and tweeted the party all night long, so of course it wasn't hard to figure out who was there. The culture of parents believing their children can do no wrong and are perfect little angels all the time has to come to and end. The fact that these kids can THOW A PARTY AND POST PICTURES ONLINE ABOUT IT proves that they do not fear any consequences. Any punishment that comes their way would probably just be a slap on the wrist. What sense of entitlement to kids have that they can trash another mans home, do illegal drugs in his house and leave it a squatters mansion ? why is our culture not raising children to be more accountable for their actions? Why are these parents suing the guy how now has to pay $20 000 worth of damages that were done to his home? Link to the article here
