Useing social media in class

Erin olson an english teacher in Sioux Rapids Iowa is in a small growing cadre of educators trying to exploit Twitter-like technology to enhance classroom discussion one of the students would read out loud a poem wile the class room would be on twitter having a class dicussion. Nicholas provenzano a english teacher at Grosse Pointe south high school near detroit said that in a class of 30 students only about 12 usually carried the conversation but that eight more might pop up on a backchannel another eight kids entering a discussion is huge hesaid and I belive that and I really like the one-to-one program fair has.

My reaction on the shinlers list movie

I think its a very interesting movie I still think it was crazy how everything was planed out and it worked how the people where treated was horribale. Some things I noticed is that the men where useally used for work more heavy dutty work. The women some of them got to do office work i think for shinler and there where some maids. I was not that surprised when I saw the lil one's run away to safety because its instinct to survive. The women where treated the worst through what i saw because they where less defenceless. I was shocked when I saw how the soldier was shooting jews like if it was nothing he looked really cold harted.

class warm up

-your favorite thing about FAIR School Downtown
-something you'd like to see us add or drastically change
-class you are doing the best at, why, how can you keep that up
-class you are struggling the most with, why, how can you change that
-plans for 4th quarter and I thing you promise to do to make 4th quarter awesome



My favorite thing about fair school are the art classes like dandc, sculpture, media arts ect.
something I would like to see change would be to change the time we are in one class make the classes like if they where friday to make up more credits. The class I think I am doing the best is in Mr.Jarmans class because he has control in his class its more easyer to focus. The class I strugle in the most is geomatry because it is very hard to focus in there. and i get sleepy. My plan for the fourth quarter is to not fail any class.
