Fear not, the immortal bard has not returned from his grave
to the mass horror of many a science and mathematics wizard. I just wanted to take the opportunity to
reintroduce myself, known here as ShakespeareTheEngineer, to the hallowed halls
of CR4 and let those of you who were routine readers of The Whiteboard Jungle
last year know that it is back up and running.
For those of you who are new to CR4 in the past eight
months, The Whiteboard Jungle is a
blog that focuses on technology in the classroom. It deals with gadgets, techniques,
philosophies of application, and the discussion of applicable ethical dilemmas
that arise from its usage or requiring its usage.
From a personal standpoint, my real name is Pete Mody. I
have been a teacher for about ten years working in Upstate New York. The finer details of my professional
experience can be located on my profile, so if you are that interested, give it
a look.
While I am the main contributor to The Whiteboard Jungle, I
am also pleased to welcome back Jaxy (from Jaxy of All Trades) who has offered
to write the occasional piece and also to welcome TechoutReach, a colleague of mine
who is entering the CR4 blogosphere for the first time, and who will be spending a lot of his time blogging for "On This Day" In Engineering History.
Looking ahead, there are many paths that we plan to traverse
this summer, from in-lab computer monitoring software, to websites that allow
students and parents to grade teachers, to how differences in learning styles
may affect the effectiveness of technology usage. That is just the beginning.
Ethical debates about teachers with Facebook accounts and other social
networking pitfalls will surely stimulate discussion, as well.
I am excited to be back in the fold of the CR4 family and am
looking forward to the spirited discussions that I was used to having with
regular readers last summer and meeting new readers in the coming months ahead.
With the amount of us with strong opinions and a willingness to share them, I
hope we do not disappoint.
Kia Kaha,
ShakespeareTheEngineer (a.k.a. StE)
