This is for every teacher who refuses to be blamed for the failure of our society to erase poverty and inequality, and refuses to accept assessments, tests and evaluations imposed by those who have contempt for real teaching and learning.

We have now gotten a US Made and Union shop to sell us BAT shirts in all designs at a low cost.
Bumper stickers are coming soon and we hope to add more shirt types (tank, polo) if there is interest in the t-shirts!

I love that I have an interactive whiteboard in my classroom and Qwizdom response devices, we use them daily. I am the tech go to person in my building and I try to incorporate it in most of my lessons.

Michelle, have you ever made any demonstration videos to post on YouTube to give others ideas about how you use your whiteboard for instruction or for students to practice or learn something? Often times I hear people "talk" (write) about what they do, but it's not always clear until I see it in action. It takes a lot of guts to videotape a demo lesson for others to see, but I so admire those who are that far along and confident enough to share in that way!

Sadly no, I hate being video taped. I don't do enough with having my students use it for practice besides math (they will come up and create problems, or solve problems on the whiteboard).
I have an Eno Board and there are a few pre made lessons on RMEasiteach that I have used, I have created some in the past but they are so time consuming. Plus I switched to 2nd, and spent time figuring out what goes on in second. I moved to a 2/3 last year, so hopefully teaching a straight 2nd this year I can create some more documents to use.
