Help Ms. Thomas learn a new online tool

Would you try taking this 2 question quiz? The results will get sorted into a spreadsheet but that's all I know. If it works and you think it would be a good idea we could start doing some surveys and quizzes like this. The test is below. There's another survey on the right side of this page if you're into helping out. (Note this on your citizenship log, why don't you?)

Reflect? What the Heck?

We said a reflection is not a report but deeper thinking. Opinions and why. Reactions and wonderings. Answer the question, "So what?" Why does Ms. Thomas ask you to do it so much? Here one teacher explains how she uses reflections to build partnership with her students. Can you find other examples of reflections on the web?

Brain Rules

What do you think of the little videos we are watching about how the brain works?
(Watch some videos or learn more about some of the rules.) There are YouTube videos that tell more. If you're interested in this topic, do some research and attach a link so we can learn more, too. Dr. Medina has a blog about Brain Rules. He has an interesting post about The Teenaged Brain.
