We really enjoyed reading everyone's blogs and learning and sharing between the two schools and two universities. We hope you will continue to blog as you continue through school and into student teaching. We would love to hear more about your experiences. Great work this semester!
Love,

We are lucky to live here
When I took my high school students to Russia for one month I was shocked at how people with disabilities were treated. Most never went to school or went out because they were publicly mocked, and it was difficult to navigate city scapes where nothing is designed for a wheel chair. This was in 1997, I had hoped that things might have changed. I heard this story on the BBC today and was saddened to learn that little has changed, but that some schools are trying to teach young people how to be more empathetic.

Blogging Do's and Don't's
Welcome to the Secondary Methods Blogosphere...
We invite you to join us on our blogging adventure. Here are a few things to keep in mind as you begin your own blog this semester.
Blogging Protocols
1) Use a pseudonym for yourself. Do not name names, especially the names of the school where you are working or the students with whom you have contact. This includes your peers.
2) Do not use foul language or language that may offend other people.
3) Do not use text abbreviations such as LOL or CUL8tr.
4) Take time to compose your writing well. Please spell check and fact check. These blogs are graded. While this is a novel way of recording your reflections on your experiences and reading, remember this is also an academic exercise.
5) Do not post photos where your identity or the identity of others is revealed.
(You can post pictures where the back of a person’s head if visible or their hand. You can also post things, but not recognizable places or people). Do not post any photographs which are incriminating.
6) When commenting on the posts of others keep an open mind, do not personally attack the views of others. If you disagree with something someone has posted feel free to engage in a discussion that provides sound reasoning to back up your point of view. Ask them to clarify what they mean in order to better understand their point of view.
7) Remember your audience for this blog is your professor and other pre-service teachers. So… be professional.
8) Please restrict your blog to posts about our reading, your experience as an artist and teacher, and your field experience. When this course is over you can expand on these themes, but for now…
9) Do not post advertisements on your blog.
