After checking out Voice Thread, please.....
....leave your questions, ideas, hints, etc. here. Then, other classmates who have encountered and solved problems can help you. And others who didn't think of trying what you tried can try it. You gotta love the power of a classroom community on line!
Just in case you see this on Friday: You will receive instructions on opening your voice thread account in class on Saturday. So you may want to wait until after that to respond to the ideas above!

Your Community Connection Bibliography Posts. By Wednesday, 11:59 p.m. please.
Hello, everyone! I thoroughly enjoyed the thoughtful, reflective discussions today. You are an insightful group of aspiring teachers who will do well in your new careers. As a reminder, please also remember to respond thoughtfully to the metaphors of three or more of your peers (also before Wednesday).
COMMUNITY CONNECTION BIBLIOGRAPHY POSTS
First, remember to give a bit of background about what you were thinking about, wondering, questioning that has brought you to the topic you want to research. Then list each bibliography separately in APA format followed by no more than two sentences that summarize the content of the article and help us to see the thread of connection to your original question/idea/puzzle of practice. Below is a sample entry from last year to help you get started. Not the exact same format I requested of you, but gets at the same idea.
#1
Cleaver, S. (2009, September). Simple steps to a peaceful classroom: Why social and emotional learning has to come first. Scholastic | Instructor magazine. Retrieved May 26, 2010, from http://www2.scholastic.com/browse/article.jsp?id=3754088
This article is about creating peaceful classrooms, schools, and districts by implementing social-emotional learning (SEL). Compared to previous decades, more kids are growing up in single-parent or dual-working-parent homes. SEL programs deal with teaching respect and help kids to deal with the world around them. As a teacher my "puzzle of practice" is reflecting on the causes and roots of an issue instead of just looking at why a kid is acting out. SEL programs could help in a variety of classrooms.

Flannery, M. E. (2010, May). Building a better school: How do you close the achievement gaps? National Education Association | NEA. Retrieved May 26, 2010, from http://www.nea.org/home/38962.htm
This article is about increasing academic achievement and graduation rates by a combination of academic programs, parental involvement, and professional development. This school is getting the students and community involved by having events such as "Hispanic Family Night" and having a group where the kids go to the elementary school down the road and tutor or down to the food pantry to help the hungry. This fits into my "puzzle of practice" by helping me to understand that it is not always about the content we teach, but how we teach it. Teaching kids the skills that will help them to make better moral and ethical choices as adults - making them productive members of society.

My mindmap and other reminders
Some of you had asked me to try to post this on here, so here goes! Saved as JPEG, and it worked. Only problem is the orientation, but I'm unsure about how I would change that. All I can seem to do is to shrink or expand, but not turn it. Hope it'll come out big enough for you to see.
Your Teaching Metaphor
What metaphor would you use to describe your own approach to teaching? Please offer specific examples or a vignette of how your teaching reflects this metaphor! Chapter 4 of Zeichner, especially pages 34 - 37 will provide helpful detail before you write!
