Well, another day, another blog. This makes 7. Or 8. This, however, is a forced blog. A mandatory master college experience. Where I shall share my deepest thoughts, feelings, and "person who is an asshole" opinions regarding education, and the use of new technologies therein.
I shall be imparting to the world my vast troves of historical knowledge, which include (but are not limited to) several important dates during WWII; the names of at least (at the very least) 9 or 7 presidents; up to (but not promising) 2 vice presidents; one or more important women in history; and lastly, but certainly not leastly--why Andrew Jackson was the biggest badass to EVER run this country. A crazy, crazy man, that Andrew Jackson.
I love teaching, and I actually love history, and I think that I can make a rather terrific difference in the lives of the many children with whom I shall come into contact. Also, I will be delving into the world of social studies (because God help me get a job if i don't). Social studies will be great. Psychology, sociology, economics, geography--all interesting, all fun.
My teaching philosophy:
Bullet: Providing fair, and equitable education for everyone, regardless of background, race, socioeconomic status, etc.
Bullet: Recognizing that all students are diverse learners, and have distinct needs.
Bullet: Education should be one of the things in this country that provide all with an equal opportunity, regardless of class or socio economic status.
Bullet: Curriculum should be meaningful to all students.
Boom!

Without question the most entertaining of our forced blog entries belongs to you. I have a question--Why are you not going into creative writing. I know you love history and all but you can write, yo! just a thought. Marinate on it or not. Anyway hope your having a
halloween of some kind.
"one or more important women"- very thoughtful, thanks! Please make one of them Ann Frank.
Steve: What exactly does it mean, "going into creative writing?" As in, teaching creative writing? Or creatively writing for monies?
As far as teaching goes, thats another minor degree to get, and that much more school that I do not want.
And professionally, "creative writing" is difficult. I am/shall write a book. That will be my creative writing outlet, and hopefully make me upwards of several hundred dollars.
