The Sound/Spelling cards are copyrighted by the publisher so I am unable to reproduce them online.

I think it is the parents and teachers who should make education relevant to students. Technology must become nothing more than a tool. Where alll are able to have access to hardware and applicationsif needed.Laptops, iPads, and laptop computers — paid for with the help of state dollars — are becoming an increasingly popular sight in classrooms.

Thank you! I’m going to be teaching a K-5 technology class next year (a move from 2nd grade), and this will be really helpful.

Comment on Losing It (In the Classroom) by Jennifer

I was a very laid back person before I started teaching middle school. The major players that get my blood boiling are people who do not seem to respond to any type of instruction that isn’t barked at them. I feel sorry for the other students who have to go to school with these attention whores. I do what I can to speak to them and explain what is expected in a normal tone. But at least once a week, they get me. I have tried so hard to keep them in the classroom, but at this point, even though I have decent rapport with all my students, I feel like my only choice is to send them to a principal who can do nothing but send them to yet another meaningless detention hall that they don’t care about. … Because they were going there anyway. Talking about what just happened in class does absolutely nothing to change the behavior for these pArticular students. Do I raise my voice? If I didn’t, they wouldn’t be able to hear me over their own.
