Glen Westbroek Pinball as a metaphor for Training and teaching.

During spring break I visited the Pinball Hall of Fame Museum in Las Vegas. I enjoyed walking around the museum and looking at all the old games. I then took time to play these “old games.” While playing, I began by just dropping in the quarter and playing by reflex. I then took time to review the notices and hints on each machine about how to earn points. As I took this time, I watched my scores go higher – often resulting in my earning an “extra ball… Continue

The Keynote Speaker was Erik Weihenmayer (who is the only blind person to summit the highest peak on all seven continents.)

Sharon Betts Blogged on SharonShare

I blogged a short video clip, Do It For Me, that a friend sent. See: SharonsShare today. It also was fed to the top of the NewLearning's main page - I wonder what you folks all think about our "safety net" teaching mentality? Are we sheltering too much? The funny thing was, that a teacher in one of my district elementary schools was blocked from viewing the video! We use a state filtering system which I can over-ride. You can… Continue

Sharon Betts Been negligent

I have been a bit negligent of this fabulous group. Projects - projects. I have several great projects going on in my district - and perhaps that is just as good as direct PD for the teachers. I am going to start a new Forum for you to all post some of the projects being completed by your teachers - include the URLs. Check under Forums for Examples of Successful Projects - and add your stars. Sharon Continue
