Hi there everyone, I was wondering how many of ya'll have seen eBoard? It is supposed to be an interactive technological way for parents, teachers, and students to keep in touch. I've never used it, so it is totally new to me. But, low and behold I am now using itI guess

Well, I have finally been able to access my eBoard, and have done a crummy job of setting it up, but for now this will have to do. [link=What do ya'll think?]http://www1.eboard.com/eboard/servlet/BoardServlet?ACTION=BOARD_SHOW&SITE_NAME=cliftonms&BOARD_NAME=Laird&SESSION_ID=064a892l6xtws4282" style="COLOR: #FF1493[/link] Think I got my point across? The principal wants our syllabus up there (mine is in English and Spanish, both are attachments), and homework for each week listed. Anything else ya'll can think of that might be of interest? Thanks, Heidi

PS if you see a typo please tell meit's been a miserable day hml

Looks ok no idea what its supposed to look like, but looks fine to me

Are you primarily an ESL teacher or just in an area that requires everyone to teach ESL based work in the classroom?

Thanks Calla Nope, I'm "ESL" teacher, 1 of 2 official ones on my campus, and it wasn't until the second six weeks that I received a "real" reading class. As it turns out they were all my ESL students, but they met the criteria they needed to exit the ESL program, and were temporarily shifted to other classes...uh so temporarily they didn't even see the other teachersthey got the new schedule in 1st and 2nd period, and by 3rd and 4th it dawned on someone I no longer had a 2nd period so they shipped them all back to me, to do "regular 6th grade reading" with

Andmy homeroom, that crazy time of the morning when noone is awake, and I was stuck on the highway this morning]:|where we get to "interact" and get to know our students better, as well as pass out any notices and all that need to go home is ESL for me as wellexcept they are what we refer to as Beginners or Newcomers...ie. they are straight from their home countries...now you want to talk about a fun and interesting class:%)try explaining something you aren't sure of to them, when you aren't totally fluent, and are having a bad foreign language day, and they are having an even worse English day:%) is all i can say:%)

Having done Curriclum Development, and Audo visul development. At masters level at uni it looks very clear and extremly well presented.

Next question where do you get all the time to something like that. I hope it is not a wasted effort and it is appreciated by all.

Heidi, that's nice, clean and to the point, it does it's job well.

BTW- Shouldn't kids remember their own homework and what they're learning??? Being responsible and taking the initiative to look after their own things is a part of growing up. Might as well just give em all A's and don't bother to get 'em up and bring 'em to school.

totally agree with fallout there, at least thats the way it was when i was going threw school inthe 80s/90s.

i dont know about now. i know my mom every night, would say "i know you have home work, get it done now"

Fish tanks are an expensive addiction

Class sizes are getting bigger, teachers are forced to spend more time dealing with the problem kids, and consequently, time for explaining stuff to kids is limited, with the louder ones often getting most attention.

I like having instructions written down somewhere, as many times I had teachers turn around on me and say "I didn't say that" when they actually did, they just meant something totally different :%).

May as well write it online than hand it out on paper.

Plus, getting things on paper is a good practice these days, what with everybody suing everybody
