Hi Joan and Ben,
Today’s podcast might just have been my favorite ever! I am thankful for the mind mapping sites and will begin using them on Tuesday. Ding! I loved hearing from the students about why they like SMART Boards and their suggestions. Ding! And I especially loved hearing from Mr. Starkman about creating the safe environment that allows me to do what I was born to do… teach. Ding! Hear! Hear! Now I can go write report cards with less dread of the task.
