• Thinking Maps

    Attended a wonderful workshop yesterday on a new district mandate, Thinking Maps.
    What are Thinking Maps? Good question!
     
    Thinking Maps is a language of eight specific visual patterns each based on a fundamental thought process. These patterns are used individually and in combination across every grade level and curriculum area as an integrated set of tools for successful life-long learning. This common visual language requires unique, professional training and resources for every individual implementing Thinking Maps throughout the learning community.
     
    Thinking Maps are a good way of organizing thought processes and allowing the students to tracking their thought process.
     
    I look foreword to implementing and using these Thinking Maps!

  • Edgewood Mini-Technology Symposium

    Posted by Eugene Jimenez at 7/18/2012 9:00:00 AM
    Yesterday was spent with the wonderful Instructional Technology Facilitators (I.T.F.) of Edgewood ISD.
    We spent the day learning what new technology would be helping us improving teaching for
    the upcoming school year.
     
    I must say, I am very pleased with the new Schoolwires interface. I have only been using it
    for a few minutes and it appears to be smoother and more user friendly.
     
    Apps are the word for the school year, apps that help use engage and interact with our students.
    I will be posting my Top 10 List of apps later on, so be on the look out!
