For my third Comment for Teachers I was given Mr. Dean Shareski. He is a digital consultant and started working for Discovery Education in 2012. In his first blog Professional Development is Not That Complicated he talks about how teachers need to be trusted with more ways to spend their time in the classroom. He says that some things that are done come across as if teachers can't be trusted, even though that is not what is implied. He talked about going to a conference and he say "I want to suggest that we’ve made professional development learning way too complicated. Partly because as leaders we want to be helpful, partly because teachers have little experience in owning their own learning and partly because we don’t trust them." My comment: Mr. Dean Shareski, I'm a student in EDM310 at the University of South Alabama and was assigned to read some of your blog post. This post is real interesting to me and I can't wait to read more of your blog post. After you post a comment it said that your comment is being reviewed and the comment disappears.

The Second post I read by Mr. Shareski was Whatever Happened to Joy? I absolutely loved this post and glad I got the chance to read it and watch the video of his presentation. This video shows that school can be fun and you can have a good time while learning. The video really shows that if you put time and effort into your students learning and do it in a fun and creative way they will love school and want to come to your class. I commented and told him that I loved the video and when I become a teacher I want to be fun and keep joy in my classroom so my students will want to come in and learn. Again after I commented it said that your comment is being reviewed and the comment disappears.

  1. This needs to be edited.
    Mr. Shareski's "Whatever Happened to Joy" has a very important meaning!

  2. Mr. Shareski handles his comments differently. He chooses from among those he receives and puts them in the stream found on the right side of his post.

    Interesting.

  3. You don't mention some of the powerful ideas in the video. Why not tell us about how homework words can be delivered? If I had watched the video I would be sure to tell others about how those spelling words were delivered. How were they? Did you watch the video? What did Mr. Shareski's wife do in her classroom? I had to watch the video to find out! See Jacey Blaire's comment. What are the five suggestions he provides to the people who watch the video? Did you visit the Daily Create site? What did you think about it? You should tell your readers what you learned!
