HI JABIZ,

Today is mother’s day and this came like a wonderful present so THANK YOU.

Yes the print will be up for sale but I’m sorry to say the painting needs more work and I wish I could tell you when it will be ready but I quit demanding punctuality out of my art :) I would guess no more than 3 months … as soon as it’s ready I’ll let you know.

Where exactly do you live? My next trip to the States will be between January and March next year and I would love to sign that print for you if possible.

I’ve been working for the past 2 months in all the non art related parts of being an artist and twitter is on my list of things to do.

There’s a facebook page up and running, you can give it a like to get the updates in the mean time.

Thank you again for sharing and yes, this would be a good connection to maintain :)

Take care,

Adriana

I wish someone would build a web site to share these kinds of stories for others to be inspired from (cough cough cough).

Students need encouragement, motivation, and praise. When they know someone cares, they work harder.

-Show personal importance and relevance through videos, discussions, sharing, group work. This can also be done with videos showing peers excelling and enjoying the idea.

-Make it fun! Play games and have rewards

-Be enthusiastic! Show them your passion and why it is so important. Apply the learning to everyday situations.

How are you guys going? Just heading over to Singapore for a medical treatment and have a days rest before I have to return. Was wondering if you and Mairin were able to catch up? How are your lovely girls going?
I was also hoping to chat with Sarah the Art teacher at UWC, I meet her on the ARARTE workshop and would love to ask if I could visit the school and see her art room and what she does with the kids.
Let me know if your able to. Love to everyone

Beth – ES Art teacher SWA

You do a super insightful job of finding the golden mean between not enough help and too much. And how tech fits into that ratio.

NICE!

That is how I totally feel about my teaching everyday

Technology is good, like you said, when it is used appropriately and to help with the learning process or creating the product, not just because we have a device with us. I think challenging our students is also important. Asking questions, not giving them answers and making them think, that motivates them to do well and keeps them engaged.

Knowing our kids is really important too: What do they like? Where are they strong? Where do they struggle?

I also think it’s amazing you read “What is the What?” with your class. I read this book a couple of years ago. It is a really powerful book. I would have never have thought to do this with my MS students, but you made me think, why not?

I love your reference about 1:1 being about one person: one person. Engagement results from ensuring that the work matters enough on a personal level, that the students want to share their results on a global scale.
