Blog Insanity- Fix Help?

Julie Cunningham — Fri, 09 Mar 2012 22:11:50 +0000

I’ve spent over 40 hours in the last two weeks trying to fix and update this lovely little internet space. Suffice it to say, if I never encounter the terms ‘malware’ and ‘trojan’ again, I’ll be a happy girl. Thankfully, DreamHost has been very helpful in this process. At this point, things are mostly fixed… they scanned and pulled the icky code, I reinstalled most files, and I’m back in business. Sort of.

I still have this wonky hunk of code that is somehow populating to the top of my blog from WP-SuperCache. Now, if I turn off the plug-in, I lose my sidebars and most CSS formatting totally (even with Twenty Ten, the default theme). I’m not sure what is happening. I see the lovely code chunk on the admin side as well as all pages on the blog side of things.

Can you help me crowdsource a solution to this problem? Do you know how to fix it? I’ve run out of things to Google. I can’t tell from the source code where it’s even coming from in order to check the .php file.

Help?

Using Fonts to Inspire Creative Writing

Julie Cunningham — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 17:55:52 +0000

Recently, my students learned how to access and install fonts on their computers. (That sounds like a random font explosion… I should say that I showed them how do this…) The experience included a discussion of internet safety, download guidelines, and installation information. Once we had all that ‘stuff’ out of the way, the addition of new fonts has prompted a great deal of new story writing ideas.

Currently, my students are writing stories titled:

“Zebas and Zebras Adventures” (prompted by 101! Zebra Print)

“To the Teddies of the Garden” (inspired by Sassy Teddys 3)

I know that I find inspiration in all kinds of places, and it has been fun to watch students take inspiration in the land of fonts. Please be aware that there are plenty of inappropriate titled fonts out there… I haven’t seen many of the actual fonts be an issue, but the name certainly can contain profanity or inappropriate references. (For example, Sh*t Happens is a beautiful font with an unlovely name…)

Text Communication with Younger Children

Julie Cunningham — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 21:23:47 +0000

To those who say that technology detracts from our ability to communicate:

Who says we can’t convey our feelings through digital media? I read her loud and clear, and I’m sure you did too!

My 8 year old daughter recently received her sister’s iP*d after we purchased a new phone for Dad. In our house, rank hath it’s privileges, and the underlings reap the benefits. That new phone was purchased in order to get a phone for our 6th grader…. but she didn’t want to give up her iTouch in order to get a phone, so we waited a bit longer to get her an iPh*ne when Dad could upgrade. He’s now mocking me with his 4S, but I know how this Apple game is played…. I’ll be able to get the 5 later this year.

I have a friend who shared how she texted regularly with her teen daughters in the house. At the time, I truly didn’t understand and viewed it as a very impersonal way to communicate. Texting is rather like speaking a foreign language.

Can you imagine a classroom full of students, an iPod Touch on every desk? Once the new wears off, it becomes just another communication method. I can do some classroom management via text. (In the Computer Lab, I did this regularly using Apple Remote Desktop to send a quick note to get a student back on track.) Of course there is a balance with this- if the tool is keeping you from real life, then it’s managing you. But if it’s used positively it can be an unexpected boon. This year, we’ve been able to creatively handle some behavioral issues by texting between teachers. A simple heads up to a co-worker allows for some cooperation, and the situations are less messy and less embarrassing to those involved and their peers.

Teamwork Isn’t Easy

Julie Cunningham — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 18:25:41 +0000

by fisserman on Flickr

Last week, my students came face to face with an undeniable fact…. teamwork isn’t easy. Now, these students have been incredible until the day in question in the maturity and flexibility they have shown while working on their project. Guess what? They are human, and had a bit of a communication breakdown.

I’ll let them speak for themselves on the topic of collaboration…

Today was hard our team fell apart. We leaned something special today be kind to team talk it out first. Don’t fight about it. When your team falls apart read my blog and learn what we leaned today.

- Abby C.

Today we learned that working in a group is not as easy as it sounds, at all! We decided to work on our presentation and we got pretty much no where so we stopped and we will continue tomorrow.

- Tuscany S.

Most of the time its easy to work with friends, but not always with me. I’m a VERY emotional girl, and very sensitive. But when working with others I tend to want to do a certain part by myself, which, doesn’t always happen. Today we ran into a few problems with our PBL, and most of us did some pretty stupid things and most of us vented into a chat box, which hurt people more than was intended.

- Emily C.

I was impressed with their level of self-awareness and ability to reflect honestly on the experience. ((I’m sure they’d love to hear from you… their names are linked to their posts.))

Learning to Learn

Julie Cunningham — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 18:01:29 +0000

After just one week of focusing on project-based learning in our small class group, I can say that the biggest challenge for these students will be learning to learn… by themselves.

They want to be spoon fed. We taught them that.

They want the right answer. We taught them that.

They don’t want to think too hard. We taught them that.

Last week, @joebower started off #sschat with the comment that “education should always be pleasantly frustrating.” This has really held true for our first week here.
