WebEx 5

This week's presenters: Paula, Meiya and Sarah, and I.

Paula:  Mindfulness can benefit us in every part of life.  The classroom is stressful for teacher and students.  Mindfulness reminds us that we must be centered and aware of what happens around us to truly benefit from it.  Keep cool in class and all benifit.

Meiya:  I now know more about the Chinese New year than ever.  What a rich tradition that is reflective of so many values in Chinese culture.  I was amazed at how many parallels their are to American New Year's celebrations.

Sarah:  A real way to stretch teaching time - yoga.  I love yoga and Sarah gave some great moves that are simple enough to do in class. 

Me:  I taught a lesson on writing Haiku.  It went well and was well received.  I liked how successful the pallet as a work desk was for motivating writing in students.  Teaching on line in a synchronous setting isn't as scary as I thought.
