15 Sep 2022 John Schinker

Last month, I was asked to talk with our new staff about their use of social media. The school district wants teachers to share the awesome things they’re doing. We have a strong online community of teachers, parents, and school … Continue reading Navigating the Sharing

Almost Back to Normal

17 Jun 2021 John Schinker

We’re almost back to normal. Last night, we biked a few miles to a local restaurant, ate dinner inside, and stopped for ice cream on the way home. I didn’t even take a mask, much less wear one. Most of … Continue reading Almost Back to Normal

Two Places

19 Apr 202121 Apr 2021 John Schinker

I don’t attend many professional conferences. In a normal year, I’ll make it to one state-level educational technology conference, and maybe 2-3 smaller one-day regional conferences. Once every 4-5 years, I’m able to attend a national event, as long as … Continue reading Two Places

Reflecting on Reflecting

31 Dec 2020 John Schinker

I started this blog experiment 15 years ago. I was looking for a way for my teachers to quickly and easily share information with students. They wanted web sites. We didn’t have a good way of doing web sites. WordPress … Continue reading Reflecting on Reflecting

Impossible

27 Dec 202027 Dec 2020 John Schinker

I can’t believe how far we’ve come. To say that 2020 has been challenging is certainly an understatement. We’ve seen our world upended to an extent that was unfathomable a year ago. I remember that we couldn’t wait to get … Continue reading Impossible

Introverting the classroom

16 Dec 2020 John Schinker

I’m struggling with the idea that the best place for kids is in school. Maybe it’s because my most robust, most meaningful, most memorable learning experiences didn’t happen in school. I’ve written in the past about my experience with personal … Continue reading Introverting the classroom

Our Kodak Moment

29 Nov 2020 John Schinker

Steve Sasson had a brilliant idea. He started with a movie camera lens. He added an array of capacitors, a basic processor, and a cassette tape recorder. After hooking up some batteries, he had the first “portable” digital camera. Sure, … Continue reading Our Kodak Moment

We’re Not Going Back

13 Jul 202013 Jul 2020 John Schinker

It’s time to face reality: school is not going back to “normal” any time soon. There are a lot of factors at play here. But looking at the reality of the pandemic, anyone who is advocating for “business as usual” … Continue reading We’re Not Going Back

Puzzle Pieces

10 Jun 2020 John Schinker

My wife and I have been doing jigsaw puzzles lately. In April, we finished a puzzle that had been languishing in its barely-started state for years. Then, we moved on to others, and have just completed our third puzzle. We … Continue reading Puzzle Pieces

Designing Hybrid Learning

13 May 2020 John Schinker

Schools are trying to figure out what fall looks like. Are we going to be back in the classroom like we were last fall? That seems very unlikely. Will we still be completely online like we’ve been for the last … Continue reading Designing Hybrid Learning

How to Teach Online, Part 2

30 Apr 202029 Apr 2020 John Schinker

As I was writing the first part of this, I got to the section on keeping instruction brief and realized I wasn’t doing a very good job of that. So we took a little break. We were talking about how … Continue reading How to Teach Online, Part 2

Next Steps

26 Apr 202026 Apr 2020 John Schinker

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what fall looks like. When we started this adventure six weeks ago, we told ourselves that it was temporary. We’re going to stay home for a couple weeks. That might drag into a … Continue reading Next Steps
