High School Teacher Creates New Educational App

In reference to article: High School Teacher Creates New Educational App

This app, eNotebook, sounds like an awesome invention. I would love to be able to upload notes on an ipod, then edit them and high light what I wanted and what was important. This could be used in early child education; like if a teacher wants to teacher the kids sentence structure, she could type the sentence wrong and the kids could correct them on their ipads. Of course in higher level classes it could be used to take notes and is easier to keep up with than a bunch of papers. I see many advantages in this like:

• it reduces the use of paper
• easier to keep up with than paper
• makes  note taking neater
• can use in the dark if you needed

                                  

 I would love to have this app. I wish it was available for the droid phones. Its creative to think of a useful app like this. I wish I could. I don't really know what I would create though. Maybe a virtual binder? It would be like a planner and instead of toting around a blinder, kids could use the planner app. Parents could still send notes home and so could teachers. Well I guess a planner app has already been invented. Like I said, it requires a lot of creativity. 

The Ron Clark Story

Ron Clark did something that only a few teachers would be able to handle. He took the challenge of teaching misbehaved children who society gave up on. He has a list of 55 rules that he uses to manage his class. My top 3 favorite rules where:

 Rule 4.  Respect other students’ comments, opinions, and ideas.

Rule 10. When you receive something, do not insult the gift or the giver.  

Rule 52.  Learn from a mistake and move on.

I think those rule are rules that should be in every class. They aren't the regular, cliche rules you would find in every class. These rules are unique and don't just apply to the class room, but also to life rules and help you become a better person.

 Here is a list of all the rules. Pick you favorite! 55 Essential Rules for Ron Clark
