I would be so scared being so far away from home

The 6 Cs are really great. I've never seen that chart before

Practical and hands on learning always make the lesson more memorable 

Love the video. Such a good way to show how you want to be an innovative teacher and the importance of being an innovative teacher ]]> 2017-05-10 00:00:43 UTC https://padlet.com/dcaywood2/9x69aq1c5fde/wish/170898204 https://padlet.com/dcaywood2/9x69aq1c5fde/wish/170898208 Love that title!

Great reflection on a nation can look no better than its least literate citizen.

You picked out a big idea to bring back with you-- collaboration! It's good to find a few things to really focus on knowing that your whole teaching environment will be different when you go back.

I agree that discussion is such a vital way to informally assess students and see what they have learned.

Cool to hear how you are reflecting on how to integrate "technology" into your school in Uganda. 

Great risk-taking in making your youtube video!]]> 2017-05-10 00:00:50 UTC https://padlet.com/dcaywood2/9x69aq1c5fde/wish/170898208 amycthomas https://padlet.com/dcaywood2/9x69aq1c5fde/wish/170898223 You are so brave to leave your family and home to study abroad.  I never did that, but can only imagine how it will impact your life/career going forward from here.  You will do amazing things - I have no doubt!

I always love hearing you talk about your culture and school.  It is absolutely fascinating to me (agriculture, no winter, technology, etc.).

Planning is key - I agree. You always were so well prepared for our green cohort lessons and it made your 20 minutes full of learning for our students

Okay - you are officially the bravest person in the room for taping a video of yourself!! :)  Great job!

Your students wear nice uniform and look nice. I like your flag too. what is the Chicken in the middle represent?

I like the theme of agriculture in your school. it helps me recall when I was young. we have garden project all the time. We planted vegetables and sold them in the street market for fund raising.

"I also think that no nation..." I LOVE this!!! 

and I think it is great that you will have so much to take back to your students by living abroad! ]]> 2017-05-10 00:01:51 UTC https://padlet.com/dcaywood2/9x69aq1c5fde/wish/170898280 https://padlet.com/dcaywood2/9x69aq1c5fde/wish/170898333 Love your school pictures.Thanks for introducing a different classroom on the other side of the earth, which makes me realize that education  is so powerful.

I appreciate that you brought up the importance of teaching skills and content that are practical and useful to the population you are teaching. Learning happens when students can actually apply what they know to something that is meaningful to them. 

BE A COACH TO YOUR PARTNER! Its a good one:)

You are going to be such a wonderful educator.

Respect for making the YouTube video! Very personal, thank you for sharing that with us.
