Thoughts, links & ideas from the 2008 National Teacher of the Year

Each time I've taken off in a plane since May (which is a lot), I've been writing in my journal, then adding these journal entries on this blog.

Check in often, or subscribe to get headlines fed to you! Oh, and the views expressed here are not those of anyone but me.  And anyone who happens to share the same views, I guess.

(Note: the blue posted dates are actually the dates I wrote the journal entries, not when I posted them online.)

Constructivism

Redmond, OR

 

Helped some folks build their new home yesterday.  I’m not fast, or even particularly accurate.  But I was successful: I didn’t pierce myself with any of the pneumatic tools!

 

Constructivist, yes.  Construction worker, no.

  1. But are you a woodsman? If you can measure within 1 inch of 16" lengths, we have a place for you on the firewood team this weekend...much easier than worrying about 1/16" gaps!

  2. While he's a perfectionist on most fronts, an occasional one inch tolerance could be quite refreshing. Not to mention the sunshine, sawdust and smell of saw gas. Ahhh . . . gotta love fall! Do you have room for two on the team, plus a couple of managers? No bench warmers this time.
