Music to Grow a Garden By

“Gardening Tools,” Hand colored linocut  © Liz Lyons Friedman

Got my gloves, rake, man, where's my hat?

The Gardener, Van Gogh

Well, at least here's the Beethoven to back me up. Very busy music, the Sonata for Piano and Violin No 5, "Spring Sonata." Great active sound for working with the bees, fingers in the dirt, splashed by the water, digging around, optimistically placing new petaled friends in my home. And maybe this guy can help with any heavy lifting. 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0pIO4zq_1w

The Second Movement of Beethoven's Spring Sonata is for sitting, pouring some herbal mint iced tea from that teapot into the chalice, and catching your breath! Bit of a gardening break in that comfy green strap chair.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zp-FwuvNBag&feature=relmfu

Time to resolve the garden, and the plans for the remainder of the day. The last Movement of the Sonata, and the gardener. Pansies, rest in your bed. Roses, gently hang on your trellis. Jasmine, exhale, sweeten the air. Four-o-clocks, it is four o'clock, say your prayers and close your petals have sweet dreams. You, too, moss roses, rest and regain your strength for your nuclear brightness in the morning. As for me, I'm joining my family to renew my strength. The one in the house.

Peace is a State of Balance...

Mount Fuji in the Sunset, ancient Japanese print--this is what peace looks like

 ...and understanding in yourself and between others, where respect is gained by the acceptance of differences.

peace

noun, interjection

1.

the normal, nonwarring condition of a nation, group of nations, or the world.

2.

( often initial capital letter ) an agreement or treaty between warring or antagonistic nations, groups, etc., to end hostilities and abstain from further fighting or antagonism: the Peace of Ryswick.

3.

a state of mutual harmony between people or groups, especially in personal relations: Try to live in peace with your neighbors.

4.

the normal freedom from civil commotion and violence of a community; public order and security: He was arrested for being drunk and disturbing the peace.

5.

cessation of or freedom from any strife or dissension.

This is what peace sounds like.

Teaching is Unlocking the Treasures of Knowledge

What a marvelous privilege to teach! In all of history, we have the greatest resources to empower the next generations. These links are not necessarily in order of importance, except that literacy must be first (sorry math teachers.) Though I think you can discern my liberal arts bias here.

Shakespeare, J. S. Bach, Michaelangelo, the Bible, Charles Dickens, e e cummings, Beethoven, Langston Hughes...all for you boys and girls.

Algebra, chemistry, engineering, astrophysics, trigonometry...all for you girls and boys.

Yo Yo Ma, Steven Spielberg, Marion Anderson, Isaac Perlman, Anna Pavlova, Freddie Mercury, Meryl Streep, Artur Rubinstein, the Beatles, Mr. Bojangles, Isaac Perlmann...all for you, students.

Lincoln, Moses, Marie Curie, the Great Khan, Catherine the Great, Ghandi, St. Bridget of Ireland, Simon Bolivar, Susan B. Anthony, Mother Teresa, Martin Luther King, Jesus, Elizabeth I, Mohammed, Julius Caesar...all for you, class.

ePLNs for Teachers –Getting Connected

Teachers can find professional networking online.  Educational sites afford convenience, privacy, and expertise in a variety of educational areas. There are also interactive activities for teachers joining an online community. Here are a few advantages to connecting online:

·         Current educational topics discussed by experts and educators in a timely, thorough manner.  For example, the latest input on educational technology use in the class, special education innovations, and school-wide interventions such as social and emotional interventions are hot topics currently inspiring teachers in their professional pursuits.

·         Convenience and privacy comes with networking online. Professional development is generally limited to scheduled on-campus staff or team meetings, conferences, or District trainings. A teacher may have a question or comment on a topic with no opportunity during these gatherings, or the teacher feels the question or comment is too basic or too sophisticated for the discussion. Educational sites can provide a responsive venue through articles, group discussions, webcasts, videos or a search by a teacher using key words at the teacher’s convenience.

·         Opportunities to investigate new teaching areas and/or extend teaching expertise abound through sites that are specific to educational technology, special education, or improved teaching methods. A teacher may want more information about learning disabilities, for personal or professional reasons, and find helpful information and professionals online.  Maybe a video demonstrating a specific lesson would be very helpful. There is an abundance of sites to enhance a teacher’s knowledge and methods.

Here are well-established educational sites excellent for teacher connections.

http://www.edutopia.org/

 Edutopia This is an attractive, vast website that is has numerous educational topics: experts and educators writing articles, groups to join, videos, classroom guides.  Edutopia is a great support for teachers.

https://www.teachingchannel.org/

The Teaching Channel  provides specific video demonstrations in K-12 classrooms and lesson plan points on basic curriculum areas, as well as information on implementing the Common Core.  There are also articles and blogs. The Teaching Channel provides a ‘Teaching Team’ feature for professional development.

http://www.ncld.org/

The National Center for Learning Disabilities (NCLD) This site offers connections for parents and teachers in the complex, challenging area of Special Education. There is a diversity of articles that are thorough, clear, and understandable for those not trained in Special Education.  The site offers ebooks, podcasts, videos and current news about the IEP process, IDEA, funding, and interventions. NCLD is a tremendous asset for teachers and parents.

http://www.edudemic.com/

Edudemic is a clear, concise, and thorough guide to educational technology, blended and flipped learning, and educational innovation using technology. There are many guidelines on a wide variety of topics that a teacher may not even have enough background in ed tech to ask about. For a teacher wishing to deepen knowledge of ed tech, or a beginner hoping to catch up--Edudemic is very effective.
