Fort Loudon Slideshow

Here are several images taken by myself during a visit to garrison weekend at Fort Loudon Historic Park.

First Amendment Discussion

So yesterdays discussion of the first amendment and its application to citizens under the age of majority was pretty interesting.  I thought that it was fun and we had a very lively discussion of the topic with some very good points made by the class.   So did you guys feel that you actually learned anything from that discussion?  What are the pros and cons of having that conversation?  Give me a little feedback please.

PS> Wish me luck I am going to play paintball tomorrow a task that I have not done since 2004.

Today's Skype Conference

Okay Gang,

I want some feedback on the Skype conference today.  What did you like?  How do you think this whole process went?  What did you feel about how we developed questions?  How do you think the entire process flowed? Is there things we could change that would make this better? 

I will be totally honest guys I was a nervous wreck until after this was done today.  I was just afraid that the interenet connection would not work or that I would have epic computer failure.  However, I think this went very well and I and the other teachers that were present could not be prouder of the questions you developed and the way you all conducted yourselves during this.  Please take a little time and post your reflections of this event as a comment to this blog. 

Thanks GUYS!!!

Lascaux Cave Website and discussion

Hey Gang,

Take a look at the following website it is an interactive trip into the world of Cro-Magnon man and his artistic abilities. After you go through the entire cave and look at some of the paintings then think about this discussion questions. What does all of this art work on the wall of a cave mean? Why did he/she draw it and what do you think we can take away from this art?
