Wikis

Wikis are interesting. I like the fact that people can only view your wiki by invitation. I reviewed a blog comment and felt weird because I don't understand the context of the comment.

We are working on our Advocacy wiki. My advocacy group is declaring that smaller class size would enhance the performance of students in all grade levels. JJ, Christy, and I are adamant about the success of our students. We feel empowered by the research and want others to join our cause.

How many students are in your class? What is the area of the room where you teach? How do you feel about the issue of student/teacher ratio and its impact on student achievement?

Let me know your thoughts.

Leadership

Leadership.....

Mother Theresa, Ghandi, John F. Kennedy, Sr., my mother, Marina, Katie, Tim; all leaders to me. What do they have in common, you ask?

Commitment, inspiration, perseverence, team players, balance of work and life, continuous improvement, willing to take risks, reflection, appreciation of the total person.

Hopefully, I will emulate their attitude and ethics.

Who are your inspirations for leadership?

Writing blogs

Well, here it is; my first blog. I have posted comments to blogs before, but never authored one. I am unsure of the process, the responses, the necessity.

What are your thoughts about the need for posting our thoughts to the World Wide Web? When should we speak out? When should our thoughts remain private?
